For any vector `vec(a)," prove that "hat(i)xx(vec(a)xxvec(i))+hat(j)xx(vec(a)xxvec(j))+hat(k)xx(vec(a)xxhat(k))=2vec(a).`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`hatixx(veca xxhati)=(hati.hati)veca-(veca.veci)=veca-(veca.veci)hati`
`hatjxx(vecaxxhatj)=veca-(veca.hatj)and hatkxx(vecaxxhatk)veca-(veca.hatk)hatk`.
`hatixx(vecaxxhati)+hatjxx(vecaxxhatj)+hatkxx(vecaxxhatk)=3veca-((veca.hati)hati+(veca.hatj)+(vecaxx hatk)hatk)=2veca`
