3.41 diagram
The diagram shows the parallelogram OABCOABC with OA=a\overrightarrow{OA} = \mathbf{a} and OC=c\overrightarrow{OC} = \mathbf{c}. Point DD lies on CBCB such that CD:DB=3:1CD:DB = 3:1. Extended, ABAB and ODOD meet at EE, with OE=hOD\overrightarrow{OE} = h\overrightarrow{OD} and BE=kAB\overrightarrow{BE} = k\overrightarrow{AB}.
(a)
Find DE\overrightarrow{DE} in terms of a\mathbf{a}, c\mathbf{c} and hh.
[4]
(b)
Find DE\overrightarrow{DE} in terms of a\mathbf{a}, c\mathbf{c} and kk.
[1]
(c)
Hence find the value of hh and of kk.
