for any four vectors `veca,vecb, vecc and vecd` prove that `vecd. (vecaxx(vecbxx(veccxxvecd)))=(vecb.vecd)[veca vecc vecd]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`vecd.(vecaxx(vecbxx (vecc xxvecd)))`
`= vecd.(vecaxx((vecb.vecd)vecc- (vecb.vecc)vecd)))`
`vecd. ((vecb.vecd)(veca xx vecc)- (vecb.vecc)(veca xxvecd))`
`=(vecb.vecd)(vecd.(vecaxxvecc))-(vecb.vecc)(vecd.(veca xx vecd))`
`(vecb.vecd) [vecdvecavecc]`
`(vecb.vecd) [veca vecc vecd]`
