Determine vector c, which is collinear vector of vector a+b, if ab=5, cb=18 and |b|=2.
I tried with c = n ( a + b )
9 = | c | c o s ( α )... | c | = ( n 2 ( a + b ) ( a + b ) ) = n a a + 14
Then 9 = n a a + 14 c o s ( α )
Second equation is: 5 2 a a c o s ( α )
From second equation we get: c o s ( α ) = 5 2 a a . I put this in first equation and I get that n = 9 14 35
My solution is: c = 9 14 35 ( a + b )
Is this correct?

n(a+b)b=18
or
n(5+4)=18
or
n=2,
which gives
c=2(a+b).
