Hi please show that it satisfies it. Thank you! Show all work and explanation please.
The scalar product of two vectors à and B in terms of their components is Ã. B = A„Bµ+A„By+
A̟B¿. The components of the vector product of these vectors in terms of their components are
(Ах В). — А, В, - А, Ву,
(Ах В), — А,В.— А,В-,
(Ã× B); = A,By - A,Bz.

Show that
Ā · (B x T) = B · (Č x Ã) = · (Ã × B),
Ä × (B x C) = B(÷ Č) – Č(à · B).
Hint: In the second equation, take the x-component of both sides of the equation. It is sufficient to
prove it only for the x-component because all components should satisfy the same vector identity.
