ABC is any triangle and D,E,F are the middle points of its sides BC,CA,AB respectively. Express the vectors −−→CF and −−→BE as linear combination of the vectors −−→AB and −−→AC
A
−−→BE=12−−→AC−−−→AB;−−→CF=12−−→AB−−−→AC

Solution
The correct option is A−−→BE=12−−→AC−−−→AB;−−→CF=12−−→AB−−−→AC −−→CA+−−→AF=−−→CF ⇒−−−→AC+12−−→AB=−−→CF Similarly −−→AE+−−→BA=−−→BE ⇒12−−→AC−−−→AB=−−→BE
