(c). Scalar Triple Product
Definition 3.1
The scalar triple product of 3 vectors a , b and c is the scalar product a (b c).
Note
(i)The scalar triple product is a scalar quantity and is denoted by [a, b, c] in some textbooks.
(ii)a (b c) = (b c) a (since scalar product is commutative).
(iii) If a = x1i + y1j + z1k, b = x2i + y2j + z2k, c = x3i + y3j + z3k
x1 x1 x1
Then a (b c) = x 2 y2 z2
