A hint to get started
Distinguish four independent parameter cases
Relative to O, A and B have position vectors and , where p is a constant.
(a) Find p for which OA and OB are perpendicular. marks
(b) In the case p=6, find angle AOB to the nearest degree. marks
(c) In the case p=5, find the position vector of M on segment AB such that AM:MB=1:2. marks
(d) Find the values of p for which the length of AB is units. marks

Each part resets p; do not carry the value from the previous part.
