Exercise 15E 1 OABC and OPQR are parallelograms and OA=a OC=c¢ OP=2a OR Express these vectors in terms of a and ¢. a OB b AC « 0 d PR e RC f AG 9 h Pl i Pe j BO 2° Given that a = 2i+j—5k and b i+ 8k, find a |a+b) b |a—b| [2a + 2b) 3) Find a vector of magnitude 39, in the opposite direction to the vector 31+ 4j 12k. 4 In the diagram, OB = b, OC =4b and AB ¢ o. A (OB, calculate the values of m and n, Given that AQ = mAC and that OO and the ratio AQ:QC. 5) The vectors a and b are di — 6j-+ mk and 61 + nj + 15k respectively. a Find the values of m and n if a and b are parallel. b Find », in terms of m, if a and b are perpendicular. @) Evaluate the scalar product of the vectors (4) age (52) and hence find the angle between a and b. 7 The points A, B and C have coordinates (7, 1, 4), (2, ~5, 7) and (—4, 4, 15) respectively. Prove that angle ABC is a right angle. 8 Find a unit veotor that is perpendicular to both 4i + 10j ~ 3k and Si— 9} + 7k.
