Prove that `(veca-vecb)xx(veca+vecb)=2(vecaxxvecb)` also interpret this result.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(veca-vecb)xx(veca+vecb)=(veca-vecb) xxveca+(veca-vecb)xxvecb` [ By distributivity of vector product over addition]
`= vecaxxveca-vecbexxveca+vecaxxvecb-vecbxxvecb` [ Again , by distributivity of vector product over addition ]
`=vec0 +vecaxxvecb+vecaxxvecb-vec0`
`= 2vecaxxvecb`
