AI Generated Solution

To find the position vector of a point \( R \) that divides the line segment joining points \( A(-2, 1, 3) \) and \( B(3, 5, -2) \) in the ratio \( 2:1 \), we will use the section formula. We will solve this problem in two parts: first for internal division and then for external division. ### Part (i): Internal Division 1. **Identify the coordinates of points A and B**: - \( A = (-2, 1, 3) \) - \( B = (3, 5, -2) \) ...
