Hello again, another vector question.
The diagram (not included) shows a parallelogram OABC with OA=a and OC=c; AC and OB intersect at point D such that OD=hOB and AD=kAC.
How do I show what h and k equal?
I managed to achieve:
a+c=2DB+AD-DC=2OD+DC-AD=OB
and
c-a=2DC+OD-DB=2AD+DB-OD=AC
Furthermore, I know that AD+DB=OD+DC and OD-AD=DB-DC
I can 'see' that h and k = 1/2; but how do I show it?
As always, the help is appreciated. I love you people :).
