Let P be an interior point of a triangle  ABC and AP,BP,CP meet the sides BC,  CA,AB in D,E,F respectively. Show  that ((AP)/(PD))= ((AF)/(FB)) + ((AE)/(EC)) .

$$\mathrm{Let}\:\mathrm{P}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{an}\:\mathrm{interior}\:\mathrm{point}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{triangle} \\ $$$$\mathrm{ABC}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{AP},\mathrm{BP},\mathrm{CP}\:\mathrm{meet}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{sides}\:\mathrm{BC}, \\ $$$$\mathrm{CA},\mathrm{AB}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{D},\mathrm{E},\mathrm{F}\:\mathrm{respectively}.\:\mathrm{Show} \\ $$$$\mathrm{that}\:\frac{\mathrm{AP}}{\mathrm{PD}}=\:\frac{\mathrm{AF}}{\mathrm{FB}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{AE}}{\mathrm{EC}}\:. \\ $$

Again do by concept of vectors only!

$$\mathrm{Again}\:\mathrm{do}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{concept}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{vectors}\:\mathrm{only}! \\ $$

to prove  ((AF)/(FB)) +((AE)/(EC)) = ((AP)/(PD))  let  AF = μb^�   ; AE=λc^�           AP = ε AD  ⇒ To prove :  (μ/(1−μ))+(λ/(1−λ))=(ε/(1−ε))  p^�  = b^� +l(λc^� −b^� )      =  c^� +m(μb^� −c^� )     = ε[b^� +ρ(c^� −b^� )]  ⇒  1−l = μm = ε−ερ    ...(i)  &     λl = 1−m = ερ       ....(ii)  ⇒  1−((ερ)/λ)=μ(1−ερ)=ε−ερ  ⇒ ερ = ((1−μ)/((1/λ)−μ)) = ((1−ε)/((1/λ)−1))  ⇒ (1/λ)−1−(μ/λ)+μ = (1/λ)−μ−(ε/λ)+εμ  ⇒  λ+μ−λμ = λμ+ε−λεμ  ⇒  ε = ((λ+μ−2λμ)/(1−λμ))          (ε/(1−ε)) = ((λ+μ−2λμ)/(1−λ−μ+λμ))                   =((μ(1−λ)+λ(1−μ))/((1−λ)(1−μ)))  ⇒  (𝛆/(1−𝛆)) = (𝛍/(1−𝛍))+(𝛌/(1−𝛌)) .
