Question 52

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. External division: mb⃗−na⃗m−n\frac{m\vec{b} - n\vec{a}}{m - n} with m=2m = 2, n=1n = 1.

  2. 2(3,4,5)−(1,2,3)=(5,6,7)2(3, 4, 5) - (1, 2, 3) = (5, 6, 7).

Worth noting

(73,103,133)(\frac{7}{3}, \frac{10}{3}, \frac{13}{3}) divides internally; an external point lies beyond BB.
