Question 1 Report
(a) The operation (*) is defined on the set of real numbers, R, by \(x * y = \frac{x + y}{2}, x, y \in R\).
(i) Evaluate \(3 * \frac{2}{5}\).
(ii) If \(8 * y = 8\frac{1}{4}\), find the value of y.
(b) In \(\Delta ABC, \overline{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\overline{AC} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -8 \end{pmatrix}\). If P is the midpoint of \(\overline{AB}\), express \(\overline{CP}\) as a column vector.
