If veca= vecP + vecq, vecP xx vecb = vec...

If `veca= vecP + vecq, vecP xx vecb = vec0 and vecq. vecb =0` then prove that `(vecbxx(veca xx vecb))/(vecb.vecb)=vecq`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`veca=vecp+vecq`
` or vecaxxvecb = vecpxxvecb+vecq xxvecb`
`or veca xx vecb =vecq xx vecb " " ( vecp xx vecb = vec0)`
`or vecb xx (veca xx vecb)= vecb xx (vecq xx vecb)`
`(vecb.vecb)vecq - (vecb.vecq) vecb`
` = (vecb.vecb)vecq " " ( vecb. vecq =0)`
`or (vecb xx (veca xx vecb))/(vecb.vecb) = vecq`
