Question

If ^i×((^a^j)×^i)+^j×((^a^k)×^j)+^k×((^a^i)×^k)=0 and a=x^i+y^j+z^k, then 8(x3xy+zx) is equal to

Solution

^i×((^a^j)×^i)+^j×((^a^k)×^j)+^k×((^a^i)×^k)=0
{(^i^i)(a^j)(^i(a^j))^i} +{(^j^j)(a^k)(^j(a^k))^j} +{(^k^k)(a^i)(^k(a^i))^k}=0
a^j(^ia)^i+a^k(^ja)^j+a^i(^ka)^k=0
3a(^i+^j+^k)^a=0
2a=^i+^j+^k
^a=12(^i+^j+^k)=x^i+y^j+z^k
x=y=z=12
8(x3xy+zx)=(x3x2+x2)=8×18=1
