Math Problem Statement

Vector operations involving position vectors and scalar multiples in problems from Exercise 8.6.

Solution

I see that you've uploaded an image containing problems from Exercise 8.6 related to vectors. The questions involve various vector operations such as scalar multiplication, vector addition, and determining vector expressions.

Here's an outline of what I can assist with:

  1. Question 1: Given that PQ=(1,9)\overrightarrow{PQ} = (1, 9), you are tasked with finding λ\lambda when PQ=λPQ\overrightarrow{PQ} = \lambda \overrightarrow{PQ}. There are four options for λ\lambda (4, -2, 1, and 13\frac{1}{3}).

  2. Question 2: This problem involves finding the vector expression for 2a3b+c2a - 3b + c, where a=5i+2ja = 5i + 2j, b=3ijb = 3i - j, and c=4i7jc = 4i - 7j.

  3. Question 3: This asks you to calculate the vector expressions for 5p+2q5p + 2q, where the position vectors of PP, QQ, and RR are given as p=5i4jp = 5i - 4j, q=3i+4jq = -3i + 4j, and r=7ijr = 7i - j.

  4. Question 4: Involves finding vector expressions such as 2pr2p - r and 3p+2q3p + 2q, where p=2ip = 2i, q=ijq = i - j, and r=5jr = 5j.

  5. Question 5: Given vectors OP=3i+9jOP = 3i + 9j, OQ=7i2jOQ = 7i - 2j, and OR=4i+jOR = 4i + j, you are tasked with finding certain combinations like 13OP+2OQ\frac{1}{3}OP + 2OQ and others.

Would you like me to solve a particular question, or would you prefer a full solution of the exercise? Let me know how you'd like to proceed.
