74. Find the co-ordinates of the points of trisection of the line segment joining the points P (3, 2, - 1) and Q (1, 2, 5).


Let R and S be the two points of trisection:
Ratio at R is 1 : 2
rightwards double arrow             straight x equals fraction numerator 1 left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis plus 2 left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis over denominator 1 plus 2 end fraction equals 7 over 3

                  straight y equals fraction numerator 1 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis plus 2 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis over denominator 1 plus 2 end fraction equals 6 over 3 equals 2

                space space straight z equals fraction numerator 1 left parenthesis 5 right parenthesis plus 2 left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis over denominator 1 plus 2 end fraction equals 3 over 3 equals 1
                            
∴ Point R is space space open parentheses 7 over 3 comma space 2 comma space 1 close parentheses
Also, ratio at S is 2 : 1
rightwards double arrow                                   straight x equals fraction numerator 2 left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis plus 1 left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis over denominator 2 plus 1 end fraction equals 5 over 3

                                       straight y equals fraction numerator 2 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis plus 1 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis over denominator 2 plus 1 end fraction equals 6 over 3 equals 2

                                        straight z equals fraction numerator 2 left parenthesis 5 right parenthesis plus 1 left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis over denominator 2 plus 1 end fraction equals 9 over 3 equals 3
∴ Point S is open parentheses 5 over 3 comma space 2 comma space 3 close parentheses
