Question Number 44848 by pieroo last updated on 05/Oct/18

(1) If \vec{\boldsymbol a} = a_{1 i} + a_{2 j} + a_{3 k} and \vec{\boldsymbol b} = b_{1 i} + b_{2 j} + b_{3 k} show that

i . \vec{\boldsymbol a} \times \vec{\boldsymbol b} = | \begin{matrix} i & j & k \\ a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3} \\ b_{1} & b_{2} & b_{3} \end{matrix} |

ii . \vec{\boldsymbol a} ∙ \vec{\boldsymbol b} = a_{1} b_{1} + a_{2} b_{2} + a_{3} b_{3}

(2) If \vec{\boldsymbol a} = a_{1 i} + a_{2 j} + a_{3 k}, \vec{\boldsymbol b} = b_{1 i} + b_{2 j} + b_{3 k} and

\vec{\boldsymbol c} = c_{1 i} + c_{2 j} + c_{3 k}, show that

i . \vec{\boldsymbol a} ∙ (\vec{\boldsymbol b} \times \vec{\boldsymbol c}) = | \begin{matrix} a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3} \\ b_{1} & b_{2} & b_{3} \\ c_{1} & c_{2} & c_{3} \end{matrix} |

ii . \boldsymbol a ∙ (\vec{\boldsymbol b} \times \vec{c}) = \vec{\boldsymbol b} (\vec{\boldsymbol a} ∙ \vec{\boldsymbol c}) - \vec{\boldsymbol c} (\vec{\boldsymbol a} ∙ \vec{\boldsymbol b})

iii . (\vec{\boldsymbol a} \times \vec{\boldsymbol b}) \times \vec{\boldsymbol c} = \vec{\boldsymbol b} (\vec{\boldsymbol a} ∙ \vec{\boldsymbol c}) - \vec{\boldsymbol a} (\vec{\boldsymbol b} ∙ \vec{\boldsymbol c})

iv . \vec{\boldsymbol a} \times (\vec{\boldsymbol b} \times \vec{\boldsymbol c}) + \vec{\boldsymbol b} \times (\vec{\boldsymbol c} \times \vec{\boldsymbol a}) + \vec{\boldsymbol c} \times (\vec{\boldsymbol a} \times \vec{\boldsymbol b}) = 0
