For any vector vecr = xhati+yhatj+zhatk,...

For any vector `vecr` = `xhati+yhatj+zhatk`, prove that `vecr` = `(vecr.hati)hati+(vecr.hatj)hatj+(vecr.hatk)hatk`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Clearly `vecr.i` = x, `vecr.j` = y and `vecr.k` = z
therefore `vecr` = xi+yj+zk
= (vecr.i)i+(vecr.j)j+(vecr.k)k.
