Question 31

OABC OABC\,OABC is a parallelogram with OA⃗=a\vec{OA} = \mathbf{a}OA=a and OC⃗=c\vec{OC} = \mathbf{c}OC=c. M M\,M is the midpoint of OBOBOB.

Diagram of a parallelogram OABC. Vertex O is at the bottom-left, A is at the top-left, B is at the top-right, and C is at the bottom-right. A diagonal line segment connects O and B. Point M is marked as the midpoint of this diagonal OB.

a.

Find in terms of a\mathbf{a}a and c\mathbf{c}c, simplifying your answers.
