The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which expression cannot be defined meaningfully among vectors, we will analyze each option based on the properties of vector operations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Vector Operations**: - There are two primary operations for vectors: the dot product and the cross product. - The dot product of two vectors results in a scalar. - The cross product of two vectors results in another vector. 2. **Evaluate Each Expression**: - **Expression 1: A · (B × C)** - Here, B × C is a vector. - A · (B × C) is a dot product of vector A and the resulting vector from B × C, which is a scalar. - This expression is meaningful. - **Expression 2: A × (B × C)** - B × C is a vector. - A × (B × C) is a cross product of vector A and the resulting vector from B × C, which is also a vector. - This expression is meaningful. - **Expression 3: (A × B) × C** - A × B is a vector. - (A × B) × C is a cross product of the vector (A × B) and vector C, resulting in another vector. - This expression is meaningful. - **Expression 4: A · B** - A · B is a dot product of two vectors A and B, resulting in a scalar. - However, if we consider the expression A × B (cross product), it results in a vector. - The dot product of two vectors is defined, but the cross product of scalars is not defined. - Therefore, this expression cannot be defined meaningfully. 3. **Conclusion**: - The expression that cannot be defined meaningfully among vectors is **A · B** when considering it in the context of cross products, as you cannot perform a cross product operation on scalars. ### Final Answer: The expression which cannot be defined meaningfully among vectors is **A · B**.
