\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of the straight line \(l\).
Line \(l\) passes through the points \(A\) and \(B\).
Relative to a fixed origin \(O\)
  • the point \(A\) has position vector \(2 \mathbf { i } - 3 \mathbf { j } + 5 \mathbf { k }\)
  • the point \(B\) has position vector \(5 \mathbf { i } + 6 \mathbf { j } + 8 \mathbf { k }\)
    1. Find \(\overrightarrow { A B }\)
Given that a point \(P\) lies on \(l\) such that $$| \overrightarrow { A P } | = 2 | \overrightarrow { B P } |$$
  • find the possible position vectors of \(P\).
