    3. (c) √69 = 8.31 m s⁻¹
    1. (a) \(\begin{pmatrix}40\\42\end{pmatrix}\) m s⁻¹
    2. (b) \(8\mathbf{i} + 8\mathbf{j} + 14\mathbf{k}\) m s⁻¹
    3. (c) \(\mathbf{r} = \begin{pmatrix}5\\-2\\1\end{pmatrix} + t\begin{pmatrix}6\\12\\4\end{pmatrix}\)
    1. (a) √16.25 = 4.03 m s⁻¹
    2. (b) \(\mathbf{r} = (7\mathbf{i} - \mathbf{j} - 4\mathbf{k}) + t(-\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j} + 2.5\mathbf{k})\)
