Let two non-collinear unit vector ` hat a` a n d `hat b` form an acute angle. A point `P` moves so that at any time `t ,` the position vector `O P(w h e r eO` is the origin`)` is given by ` hat acost+ hat bsintdotW h e nP` is farthest from origin `O ,` let `M` be the length of `O Pa n d hat u` be the unit vector along `O Pdot` Then (a)` hat u=( hat a+ hat b)/(| hat a+ hat b|)a n dM=(1+ hat adot hat b)^(1//2)` (b) ` hat u=( hat a- hat b)/(| hat a- hat b|)a n dM=(1+ hat adot hat )^(1//2)` (c) ` hat u=( hat a+ hat b)/(| hat a+ hat b|)a n dM=(1+2 hat adot hat b)^(1//2)` (d) ` hat u=( hat a- hat b)/(| hat a- hat b|)a n dM=(1+2 hat adot hat b)^(1//2)`
