Answers (1)

Answer: \frac{1}{3}\left ( 2\vec{b}+\vec{a} \right )

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: If \vec{a} & \vec{b}denote the position vectors of points A and B respectively and C is appoint on AB, such that 3AC = 2AB, then write the position vector of C

Solution: Let \vec{c}is the position vector of c

Now,

        \vec{AB}=\vec{b}-\vec{a}

        \vec{AC}=\vec{c}-\vec{a}

Consider,

                \begin{aligned} &3 \overrightarrow{A C}=2 \overrightarrow{A B} \\ &3(\vec{c}-\vec{a})=2(\vec{b}-\vec{a}) \\ &3 \vec{c}-3 \vec{a}=2 \vec{b}-2 \vec{a} \\ &3 \vec{c}=2 \vec{b}-2 \vec{a}+3 \vec{a} \\ &3 \vec{c}=2 \vec{b}+\vec{a} \\ &\vec{c}=\frac{1}{3}(2 \vec{b}+\vec{a}) \end{aligned}
