Question 17

A geometric diagram showing a triangle OAB. Point O is at the origin. Point A is above and to the right of O. Point B is on a horizontal line to the right of O. Point D is further to the right on the same horizontal line. A vector arrow points from O to A, labeled 5a. A vector arrow points from O to B, labeled 3b. Point M is a point on the line segment AB.

OA⃗=5a \vec{OA} = 5\mathbf{a} OA=5a OB⃗=3b \vec{OB} = 3\mathbf{b} OB=3b

C C\,C is the point on OA OA\,OA such that OC:CA=4:1OC:CA = 4:1OC:CA=4:1 M M\,M is the midpoint of ABABAB D D\,D is the point such that OB:OD=3:4OB:OD = 3:4OB:OD=3:4

Show that CCC, M M\,M and D D\,D are on the same straight line.
