veca, vecb, vecc are the position vector...

`veca, vecb, vecc` are the position vectors of the three points A,B,C respectiveluy. The point P divides the ilne segment AB internally in the ratio 2:1 and the point Q divides the lines segment BC externally in the ratio 3:2 show that `3vec(PQ) = -veca-8vecb+9vecc`.
