1 4 1. If A, B, and D are given vectors, prove the distributive law for the vector cross product, i.e., A : (B + D) = (A : B) + (A : D). Consider the three vectors; with A vertical. Note obd is perpendicular to A. od = ƒ A * (B + D) ƒ = ƒ A ƒƒb + D ƒ sin u 3 ob = ƒ A * B ƒ = ƒ A ƒƒb ƒ sin u 1 bd = ƒ A * D ƒ = ƒ A ƒƒd ƒ sin u 2 Also, these three cross products all lie in the plane obd since they are all perpendicular to A. As noted the magnitude of each cross product is proportional to the length of each side of the triangle. The three vector cross products also form a closed triangle o b d which is similar to triangle obd. Thus from the figure, A * (B + D) = (A * B) + (A * D) (QED) Note also, A = A x i + A y j + A z k B = B x i + B y j + B z k D = D x i + D y j + D z k i j k A * (B + D) = 3 A x A y A z 3 B x + D x B y + D y B z + D z = [A y (B z + D z ) - A z (B y + D y )]i - [A x (B z + D z ) - A z (B x + D x )]j + [A x (B y + D y ) - A y (B x + D x )]k = [(A y B z - A z B y )i - (A x B z - A z B x )]j + (A x B y - A y B x )k + [(A y D z - A z D y )i - (A x D z - A z D x )j + (A x D y - A y D x )k i j k i j k = 3 A x A y A z A x A y A z 3 B x B y B z D x D y D z = (A * B) + (A * D) (QED)

2 4 2. Prove the triple scalar product identity A # (B : C) = (A : B) # C. As shown in the figure Thus, But, Thus, Area = B(C sin u) = B * C Volume of parallelepiped is B * C h h = A # u(b * C) = ` A # a B * C B * C b ` Volume = A # (B * C) Since (A * B) # C represents this same volume then A # (B : C) = (A : B) # C (QED) Also, LHS = A # (B : C) i j k = (A x i + A y j + A z k) # 3 B x B y B z 3 C x C y C z = A x (B y C z - B z C y ) - A y (B x C z - B z C x ) + A z (B x C y - B y C x ) = A x B y C z - A x B z C y - A y B x C z + A y B z C x + A z B x C y - A z B y C x RHS = (A : B) # C i j k = 3 A x A y A z 3 # (Cx i + C y j + C z k) B x B y B z = C x (A y B z - A z B y ) - C y (A x B z - A z B x ) + C z (A x B y - A y B x ) = A x B y C z - A x B z C y - A y B x C z + A y B z C x + A z B x C y - A z B y C x Thus, LHS = RHS A # (B : C) = (A : B) # C (QED)

3 4 3. Given the three nonzero vectors A, B, and C, show that if A # (B : C) = 0, the three vectors must lie in the same plane. Consider, A # (B * C) = A B * C cos u = ( A cos u) B * C = h B * C = BC h sin f = volume of parallelepiped. If A # (B * C) = 0, then the volume equals zero, so that A, B, and C are coplanar.
