Question
If $\vec{\text{a}}=3\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}},$ then find $\big(\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big)\vec{\text{a}}.$

Answer

Since $\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}$ is a vector, $\big(\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big)\vec{\text{a}}$ without any dot or cross product in between is meaningless.
