3(a) A and B are points with position vectors 4i + t j and i t j respectively with
reference to an origin O. If OA is perpendicular to OB, find the values of t.
(b) T has position vector -2i + 4j and the line TP is parallel to the vector i + 3j.
Show that the position vector of P is given by OP

(t 2)i + (3t + 4)j where t

is a scalar. Hence find the value of t for which OP is perpendicular to TP.
