Find OR

Find OR

Solution

To find the vector OR\overrightarrow{OR}, we need to use the given information from the diagram and the problem:

  1. Understanding the relationships:

    • The triangle OABOAB is described using vectors: OA=10a,OB=10b.\overrightarrow{OA} = 10\mathbf{a}, \quad \overrightarrow{OB} = 10\mathbf{b}.
    • ARQARQ and ORPORP are straight lines.
    • The vectors are simplified in terms of fractions along the lines, e.g., OQ=15OB=2b\overrightarrow{OQ} = \frac{1}{5}\overrightarrow{OB} = 2\mathbf{b}.
  2. Position of RR along OR\overrightarrow{OR}:

    • From the diagram and the problem's symmetry, the vector R\overrightarrow{R} splits OP\overrightarrow{OP} in some ratio, so we need to establish RR along the straight line.
  3. Calculating OR\overrightarrow{OR}: If R=kOA+(1k)OQ\overrightarrow{R} = k \overrightarrow{OA} + (1 - k)\overrightarrow{OQ}, calculate from known ratios. Let me work it out. Vector definitions and relationships import sympy as sp

Define vectors

a, b, k = sp.symbols('a b k') # a, b are vector directions, k is scalar ratio

OA and OQ in terms of given data

OA = 10 * a OB = 10 * b OQ = 2 * b # from the problem statement

OR in terms of OA and OQ, let k represent the fraction along the line

OR = k * OA + (1 - k) * OQ

Simplify OR

OR_simplified = sp.simplify(OR) OR_simplified
