Compare the result with given options
We have AB - AB = (0, 0). Now, we will compare this result with the given options (a), (b), (c), and (d) to find the correct one.
(a) [(8t - 2, 5 - 3t) / (t < 0)] - The condition here is that t must be less than 0, and the coordinates are not equal to (0, 0) for any value of t.
(b) [(8t - 2, 5 - 3t) / (0 ≤ t ≤ 1)] - In this case, when t = 0, we have the coordinates (8 × 0 - 2, 5 - 3 × 0) = (-2, 5), which correspond to point A. When t = 1, we have the coordinates (8 × 1 - 2, 5 - 3 × 1) = (6, 2), which correspond to point B. However, for any value of t in between, the coordinates will not be equal to (0, 0).
(c) [(8t - 2, 5 - 3t) / {t ∈ R - [0, 1]}] - In this case, as long as t is not between 0 and 1, the coordinates can equal (0, 0). This is true when t = 1/8 because (8 × 1/8 - 2, 5 - 3 × 1/8) = (0, 0). Therefore, the answer is (c).
(d) [(8t - 2, 5 - 3t) / (t > 1)] - The condition here is that t must be greater than 1, and the coordinates are not equal to (0, 0) for any value of t.
The correct option is (c) [(8t - 2, 5 - 3t) / {t ∈ R - [0, 1]}].
