The discussion revolves around vector coordinates, specifically the relationship between points A, B, and C in a geometric context. Participants are exploring how to calculate vector segments and their relationships, particularly involving the origin and weighted averages.
The discussion is active with various interpretations being explored. Some participants are questioning the original poster's calculations and assumptions, while others are providing guidance on concepts like weighted averages and vector representation. No consensus has been reached yet.
There is mention of potential confusion in the problem statement and the need for visual representation to aid understanding. Participants are also considering the implications of vector lengths and weights in their calculations.
I think AB here is supposed to be the length of the line segment connecting points A and B. It's not the vector ##\mathbf{b}-\mathbf{a}##, though it is related. And I think you meant you multiplied by 2/5, not 5/2. Or at least that would somewhat make sense.homeworkhelpls said:
