Answer:

  c = (5b -3a)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find vector OC in terms of 'a' and 'b', given that B divides AC in the ratio 2 : 3.

Solution

The point B satisfies ...

  B = (2C +3A)/5

Solving for C gives ...

  5B -3A = 2C

  C = (5B -3A)/2

In terms of the vectors a = OA, b = OB, this is ...

  c = (5b -3a)/2
