(a)
Find the unit vector in the direction of 40i9j40\mathbf{i} - 9\mathbf{j}.
[2]
(b)(i)
The position vectors of PP and QQ relative to OO are p\mathbf{p} and q\mathbf{q}. Point RR lies on PQPQ between PP and QQ such that PR=kPQ\overrightarrow{PR} = k\overrightarrow{PQ}.
Write down the set of all possible values of kk.
