Let's break down this vector geometry problem.

First, we establish the position vectors based on the given information and the diagram.
Let O be the origin (0,0)(0,0).
From the diagram:
OA⃗=a\vec{OA} = \mathbf{a}
OB⃗=b\vec{OB} = \mathbf{b}

From the ratios indicated on the diagram:

  • Point A divides OX such that OA:AX=4:1OA:AX = 4:1. This means OX⃗=4+14OA⃗=54OA⃗\vec{OX} = \frac{4+1}{4} \vec{OA} = \frac{5}{4} \vec{OA}. So, OX⃗=54a\vec{OX} = \frac{5}{4} \mathbf{a}.
