vec(AC)=-8i +8j+0k and vec(AM)=-6i+2j+5k.

Explanation:

Clearly, A(8,0,0), C(0,8,0), B(8,8,0).

:. vec(AC)=C(0,8,0)-(8,0,0)=(-8,8,0).

:. vec(AC)=-8i +8j+0k.

Since D is the midpoint of the segment OB, we have,

D=D((0+8)/2,(0+8)/2,(0+0)/2)=D(4,4,0).

:. X=X(4,4,10).

Given that M is the midpoint of the segment OX,

M=M((0+4)/2,(0+4)/2,(0+10)/2)=M(2,2,5).

:. vec(AM)=(2,2,5)-(8,0,0)=(-6,2,5).

rArr vec(AM)=-6i+2j+5k.
