here's the solution for question 12:

12. The points A(1, 3), B(-2, 5), C(1, 7) and D(x, y) are the vertices of the parallelogram ABCD.

Part i· 3 steps

Find AB⃗\vec{AB}, BC⃗\vec{BC} and AC⃗\vec{AC};

  1. Calculate vector AB⃗\vec{AB}.

    To find the vector from point P(x1,y1)P(x_1, y_1) to Q(x2,y2)Q(x_2, y_2), we use PQ⃗=(x2−x1y2−y1)\vec{PQ} = \begin{pmatrix} x_2 - x_1 \\ y_2 - y_1 \end{pmatrix}.
    For AB⃗\vec{AB}, A(1,3)A(1, 3) and B(−2,5)B(-2, 5):

    AB⃗=(−2−15−3)=(−32)\vec{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 - 1 \\ 5 - 3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} AB⃗=(−32)\boxed{\vec{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}}
  2. Calculate vector BC⃗\vec{BC}.

    For BC⃗\vec{BC}, B(−2,5)B(-2, 5) and C(1,7)C(1, 7):

    BC⃗=(1−(−2)7−5)=(1+22)=(32)\vec{BC} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 - (-2) \\ 7 - 5 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 + 2 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} BC⃗=(32)\boxed{\vec{BC} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}}
  3. Calculate vector AC⃗\vec{AC}.

    For AC⃗\vec{AC}, A(1,3)A(1, 3) and C(1,7)C(1, 7):

    AC⃗=(1−17−3)=(04)\vec{AC} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 - 1 \\ 7 - 3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} AC⃗=(04)\boxed{\vec{AC} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}}

Part iiD(4, 5)

the coordinates of D.

  1. Use the property of a parallelogram that opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.

    Therefore, their vectors are equal. For parallelogram ABCD, AD⃗=BC⃗\vec{AD} = \vec{BC}.
    Let D=(x,y)D = (x, y).

    AD⃗=(x−1y−3)\vec{AD} = \begin{pmatrix} x - 1 \\ y - 3 \end{pmatrix}

    From part (i), we know BC⃗=(32)\vec{BC} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}.

  2. Equate the components of the vectors AD⃗\vec{AD} and BC⃗\vec{BC} to find xx and yy.

    (x−1y−3)=(32)\begin{pmatrix} x - 1 \\ y - 3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}

    Equating the x-components:

    x−1=3x - 1 = 3 x=3+1x = 3 + 1 x=4x = 4

    Equating the y-components:

    y−3=2y - 3 = 2 y=2+3y = 2 + 3 y=5y = 5

    The coordinates of D are (4,5)(4, 5).

    D(4,5)\boxed{D(4, 5)}
