- Expressing in terms of a and b, the vectors
- AD = AO + OD = -a + 2/5b or 2/5b -a
- OE = a + ½(-a +b)
OE = ½a + ½b
Alternatives
OE = b + ½(-b +a)
OE = ½b + ½a
- Values of S and T
AF = sAD = s(2/5 b - a) = 2/5sb - sa
OF = O±E = (½a + ½b) = ½±a + ½±b
Also
OF = OA + AF = a - sa + 2/5b = (1-5)a + 2/5sb
Comparing the coefficients of a and b
½t = 1 - s
s = 1 - ½t
2x½t = 2/5s x 2 t = 4/5s
s = 1 - ½(4/5s) → s = 1 - 2/5s
s + 2/5s = 1 → 7/5s = 1 s = 5/7
t = 4/5(5/7) → t = 4/7 - O, F and E colinear
consider OF and OE
OE = ½(a + b) and OF = (1 -s)a + 2/5 b = (1 - 5/7) a + 2/5 b
= 2/7(a + b)
let OE = KOF
½(a + b) = 2/7(a + b)
K = 2/7 = ½ = 4/7 hence OE = 4/7 OF
and O is common hence O, F and E are colinear
