Find the scalar and scalar components of the vector with initial point

1.	Find the scalar and scalar components of the vector with initial points `A(-3,-1,2)` and terminal point `B(-5,4,3)`.
Answer» We have, `vec(AB) =` (position of vector) - (position vectors of A) ` = (-5hati + 4hatj + 3hatk) - (3hati - hatj + 2hatk) = (-8hati+ 5hatj + hatk)`. The scalar components of `vec(AB)` are `-8,5,1`. The vector component of `vec(AB)` are `-8hati 5hatj , hatk`.

Show that the points `A(1,-2,-8),B(5,0,-2)a n dC(1,3,7)`are collinear, and find the ratio in which `B`divides `A Cdot`
