pls help

a)express AB, AM, OM in terms of a and b b) given that G lies on OM such that OG:GM=2:1, express OG in terms of a and b c) Express AG in terms of a and b d) Express AN in terms of a and b e) show that AG=mAN and find the value of m?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is AM=MB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye s it and BN=ON too sorry fr nt saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AB= OB-OA =b-a AM= (b-a)/2 OM=AM-AO = (b-a)/2+a =(a-b)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OM=OA+AM a-1/2a+1/2b =(a+b)/2 this is crct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. You can either do Vector Addition or Vector Subtraction. Both ways are correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope bt ths not the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh sorry. I put subtraction sign instead of addition. The answer does come (a+b)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u dint add yeah ok..do the next ones

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OG:GM 2:1 Thus 2/3 x (a+b)/2 OG= (a+b)/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AG= (b-2a)/ 3 AN= (b-2a)/2 AG=mAN (b-2a)/3 x 2/(b-2a)= m m=2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cn u explain AG part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AG= AO+OG =-a+ (a+b)/3 = (b-2a)/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean the last part? AG=mAN

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. Sorry. You see the question says AG= mAN So you put the values of AG and AN we found earlier. \[(b-2a) \div3= m \left[ (b-2a)\div2 \right] \] Now moving the values so that m is left alone, you get the answer m= 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks alot...:D i owe u alot...sis...if u need any doubt regrding physics im there to help...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YW. I'll post a question in a sec. :D
