2220

Relative to an origin O, the position vectors of points P and Q are given by

\(\overrightarrow{OP} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 3 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OQ} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \\ q \end{pmatrix}\),

where \(q\) is a constant.

  1. In the case where \(q = 3\), use a scalar product to show that \(\cos POQ = \frac{1}{7}\).
  2. Find the values of \(q\) for which the length of \(\overrightarrow{PQ}\) is 6 units.
