The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the expression for the vector \((\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times \vec{a}\) using the vector triple product identity. The vector triple product identity states that: \[ \vec{x} \times (\vec{y} \times \vec{z}) = (\vec{x} \cdot \vec{z}) \vec{y} - (\vec{x} \cdot \vec{y}) \vec{z} \] In our case, we can let \(\vec{x} = \vec{a}\), \(\vec{y} = \vec{b}\), and \(\vec{z} = \vec{c}\). So, we can rewrite our expression as follows: ### Step 1: Identify the vectors We have: - \(\vec{x} = \vec{a}\) - \(\vec{y} = \vec{b}\) - \(\vec{z} = \vec{c}\) ### Step 2: Apply the vector triple product identity Using the vector triple product identity, we can express \((\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times \vec{a}\) as: \[ (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times \vec{a} = (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}) \vec{b} - (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) \vec{c} \] ### Step 3: Write the final expression Thus, the final expression for \((\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times \vec{a}\) is: \[ (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times \vec{a} = (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}) \vec{b} - (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) \vec{c} \] ### Conclusion The expression for \((\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \times \vec{a}\) is \((\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}) \vec{b} - (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) \vec{c}\). ---
