Here are the solutions to the problems.

1. Locus of R
Given points P(2,5)P(2, 5) and Q(4,7)Q(4, 7). A variable point R(x,y)R(x, y) moves such that 5∣PR⃗∣=3∣QR⃗∣5|\vec{PR}| = 3|\vec{QR}|.

  1. Write the distance formulas for ∣PR⃗∣|\vec{PR}| and ∣QR⃗∣|\vec{QR}|.

    ∣PR⃗∣=(x−2)2+(y−5)2|\vec{PR}| = \sqrt{(x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2} ∣QR⃗∣=(x−4)2+(y−7)2|\vec{QR}| = \sqrt{(x-4)^2 + (y-7)^2}
  2. Substitute these into the given equation 5∣PR⃗∣=3∣QR⃗∣5|\vec{PR}| = 3|\vec{QR}|.
