1.1 diagram
(a)(i)
The diagram shows a figure OABCOABC, where OA=a\overrightarrow{OA} = \mathbf{a}, OB=b\overrightarrow{OB} = \mathbf{b} and OC=c\overrightarrow{OC} = \mathbf{c}. The lines ACAC and OBOB intersect at the point MM where MM is the midpoint of the line ACAC.
Find, in terms of a\mathbf{a} and c\mathbf{c}, the vector OM\overrightarrow{OM}.

(a)(ii)
Given that OM:MB=2:3OM:MB = 2:3, find b\mathbf{b} in terms of a\mathbf{a} and c\mathbf{c}.
[2]
(b)(i)
Vectors i\mathbf{i} and j\mathbf{j} are unit vectors parallel to the xx-axis and yy-axis respectively. The vector p\mathbf{p} has a magnitude of 3939 units and has the same direction as 10i+24j-10\mathbf{i} + 24\mathbf{j}.
Find p\mathbf{p} in terms of i\mathbf{i} and j\mathbf{j}.

(b)(ii)
Find the vector q\mathbf{q} such that 2p+q2\mathbf{p} + \mathbf{q} is parallel to the positive yy-axis and has a magnitude of 1212 units.

(b)(iii)
Hence show that q=k5|\mathbf{q}| = k\sqrt{5}, where kk is an integer to be found.
