Question

Point A has coordinates (6, 4) and point B has coordinates (2, 7).
Write \(\vec{AB}\) as a column vector.
\(\vec{AB}=\left ( \right )\).

Answer/Explanation

\(\begin{pmatrix}-4\\ 3\end{pmatrix}\)

Question

In the diagram, PQS, PMR, MXS and QXR are straight lines.

PQ = 2 QS.

M is the midpoint of P

QX : XR = 1 : 3.

\(\underset{PQ}{\rightarrow})\)=q and \(\underset{PR}{\rightarrow})\)=r.

(a) Find, in terms of q and r,

(i) \(\underset{RQ}{\rightarrow})\),

(ii) \(\underset{MS}{\rightarrow})\)

(b) By finding , show that \(\underset{MX}{\rightarrow})\) is the midpoint of MS. 

Answer/Explanation

(a) (i) -r + q or q – r (ii) \(\frac{1}{2}\)(3q – r)
