A hint to get started
Relate external division, area ratios and a unit-vector projection
Referred to O, , . C is on AB produced such that 2AB=3BC.
(i) Find OC in terms of a,b. marks
(ii) Show that the area of triangle OBC can be written as , finding k. marks
(iii) D is on OB such that area (OAD):area (OBC)=4:3. Find OD in terms of b. marks
(iv) Given a,b are unit vectors and angle AOB=60°, find the length of the projection of OC onto OA. marks
