Question 68

Relative to a fixed origin $O$ , the position vectors of three collinear sensors $A$ , $B$ , and $C\,$ are $a\mathbf{a}$ , $b\mathbf{b}$ , and $c\mathbf{c}$ respectively. The sensor $B\,$ is located such that the distance $AC\,$ is triple the distance $A B$ . Given that $B\,$ lies between $A\,$ and $C$ , show that:

\mathbf{c} = 3\mathbf{b} - 2\mathbf{a}

ii.

Prove by contradiction that for any integer $n$ , if $n^2\,$ is divisible by 3, then $n\,$ is divisible by 3.
