(a)
The position vectors of PP, QQ and RR relative to OO are (47)\begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 7 \end{pmatrix}, (85)\begin{pmatrix} 8 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} and (xy)\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix}. Point RR lies on PQPQ extended such that 3QR=2PR3\overrightarrow{QR} = 2\overrightarrow{PR}. Find xx and yy.

(b)(i)
Given a+b=c\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b} = \mathbf{c}, with a=5|\mathbf{a}| = 5 on bearing 210210^{\circ} and c=10|\mathbf{c}| = 10 on bearing 330330^{\circ}, find a\mathbf{a} and c\mathbf{c} in terms of i\mathbf{i} and j\mathbf{j}.
