Vector ratios and geometric proofs — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

\(\displaystyle OA=\)\(\left[\begin{matrix}16\\2\end{matrix}\right]\), \(\displaystyle OB=\)\(\left[\begin{matrix}1\\18\end{matrix}\right]\). M divides AB with \(\displaystyle AM:MB=1:5\). For the general ratio formula write \(\displaystyle m=1, n=5\).

Write \(\mathbf a=\overrightarrow{OA}\) and \(\mathbf b=\overrightarrow{OB}\).

Find the x-coordinate of M.

Enter one exact number or fraction. These checks support non-calculator practice. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
