Question
$\big(\vec{\text{a}}+2\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big\{\big(\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big)\times\big(\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{c}}\big)\big\}$ is equal to:
  1. $\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big)$
  2. $2\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big)$
  3. $3\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big)$
  4. $0$

Answer

  1. $3\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big)$
Solution:
$\big(\vec{\text{a}}+2\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big\{\big(\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big)\times\big(\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{c}}\big)\big\}$
$=\big(\vec{\text{a}}+2\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big(\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{c}}-\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{c}}\big)$
$=\big(\vec{\text{a}}+2\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big(-\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{c}}\big)$
$=\big(\vec{\text{a}}+2\vec{\text{b}}-\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big(-\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{c}}\big)$
$=\big[\text{a}\text{b}\text{c}\big]+2\big[\text{a}\text{b}\text{c}\big]$
$=3\big[\text{a}\text{b}\text{c}\big]$
