In the diagram is a parallelogram ABCD  with diagonal CB.  E and F are the midpoints of CD and  BD respectively. Using vectors, prove  that AE and AF trisect CB.

I have an idea of axiomatic proof.  But question requirs only proof by  vectors.  If an axiomatic approach may also  be welcomed, I can share.
