Verified by Experts

`(vecu+vecv-vecw).(vecu-vecv)xx(vecv-vecw)=)(vecu+vecv-vecw).(vecuxxvecv-vecuxxvecw-vecvxxvecv+vecvxxvecw)`
`=(vecu+vecv-vecw).(vecuxxvecv-vecuxxvecw+vecvxxvecw)`
`= 0-0+vecu.(vecvxxvecw)+0-vecv.(vecuxxvecw)+0-vecw.(vecuxxvecv)+0-0`
`[vecu vecv vecw]+[vecv vecw vecu] - [vecwvecuvecv]=vecu.(vecvxxvecw)`
