ok this seems like an easy question but its confusing me.
i cant draw the diagram so ill explain it.
ABCD is a parallelogram with AB= vector x, BC=vector y.
BC is the horizontal line.
Another line BE, joins point B to the line AD such that AE:ED=1:2
A diagonal line connects point A to C and intersects with line BE at a point F.
Given that BF=vBE
a). Express vector BF in terms of x, y and v.
b) Show that vector AF= (1-v)x + (1/3)vy.
c) Use the expression of AF to find the value of v.
part a and b are pretty easy but its part c thats confusing. because we have to use the expression.
