Problem

a\mathbf{a} and b\mathbf{b} form the consecutive sides of a regular hexagon ABCDEFABCDEF.
Column IColumn II
a. If CD=xa+yb\mathbf{CD} = x\mathbf{a} + y\mathbf{b} , thenp. x=−2x = -2
b. If CE=xa+yb\mathbf{CE} = x\mathbf{a} + y\mathbf{b} , thenq. x=−1x = -1
c. If AE=xa+yb\mathbf{AE} = x\mathbf{a} + y\mathbf{b} , thenr. y=1y = 1
d. If AD=−xb\mathbf{AD} = -x\mathbf{b} , thens. y=2y = 2
