(1) If a^→ =a_(1i) +a_(2j) +a_(3k) and b^→ =b_(1i) +b_(2j) +b_(3k) show that i. a^→ ×b^→ = determinant ((i,j,k),(a_1 ,a_2 ,a_3 ),(b_1 ,b_2 ,b_3 )) ii. a^→ •b^→ =a_1 b_1 +a_2 b_2 +a_3 b_3 (2) If a^→ =a_(1i) +a_(2j) +a_(3k) , b^→ =b_(1i) +b_(2j) +b_(3k) and c^→ =c_(1i) +c_(2j) +c_(3k) , show that i. a^→ •(b^→ ×c^→ )= determinant ((a_1 ,a_2 ,a_3 ),(b_1 ,b_2 ,b_3 ),(c_1 ,c_2 ,c_3 )) ii. a•(b^→ ×c^→ )=b^→ (a^→ •c^→ )−c^→ (a^→ •b^→ ) iii. (a^→ ×b^→ )×c^→ =b^→ (a^→ •c^→ )−a^→ (b^→ •c^→ ) iv. a^→ ×(b^→ ×c^→ )+b^→ ×(c^→ ×a^→ )+c^→ ×(a^→ ×b^→ )=0
