(a)
The vector v\mathbf{v} has a magnitude of 3939 units and is in the same direction as (125)\begin{pmatrix} -12 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix}. Write v\mathbf{v} in the form (ab)\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix}, where aa and bb are constants.

(b)
Vectors p\mathbf{p} and q\mathbf{q} are such that p=(r+sr+6)\mathbf{p} = \begin{pmatrix} r+s \\ r+6 \end{pmatrix} and q=(5r+12s1)\mathbf{q} = \begin{pmatrix} 5r+1 \\ 2s-1 \end{pmatrix}, where rr and ss are constants. Given that 2p+3q=(00)2\mathbf{p} + 3\mathbf{q} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, find the value of rr and of ss.
