`u = -21i` Use the dot product to find the magnitude of u.

The magnitude of a vector `u` is the square root of its dot product by itself, because


`u*u=||u||*||u||*cos(theta),` and `theta=0,` `cos(theta)=1.`


I suppose that the magnitude of `i` is 1. Then


`||u||=sqrt(u*u)=sqrt((-21i)*(-21i))=sqrt(21*21)=21.`


This is the answer.
