Question

If b and c are mutually perpendicular unit vectors and a is any vector, then (a,b)b+(a.c)c+a.(b×c)b×c(b×c)=

Open in App
Solution

Given that

(a.b)b+(a.c)c+a(b×c)b×c(b×c)

And bc hence, b×c=bc

=(a.b)b+(a.c)c+a(bc)bcbc

Given that vector b,c are unit vector hence ,

b=1,c=1

=(a.b)b+(a.c)c+a(1.1)|1.1|1.1

=(a.b)b+(a.c)c+a
