Question 9

A vector diagram showing points O, X, Y, and M. Vector OX is labeled 6a and vector OY is labeled 10b. M is the midpoint of the line segment XY.

The diagram shows a triangle OXYOXYOXY.

OX→=6a \overrightarrow{OX} = 6\mathbf{a} OX=6a OY→=10b \overrightarrow{OY} = 10\mathbf{b} OY=10b

M is the midpoint of XYXYXY

a.

b.

Find, in terms of a\mathbf{a}a and b\mathbf{b}b, the vector XM→\overrightarrow{XM}XM.

[1]
c.

Find, in terms of a\mathbf{a}a and b\mathbf{b}b, the vector OM→\overrightarrow{OM}OM.
