Question:medium

The value of $ \vec{a} \times (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) $ is:

Show Hint

Remember the mnemonic "BAC - CAB" to keep the order of vectors correct.

Updated On: Apr 8, 2026

$(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c})\vec{b} - (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})\vec{c}$
$(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})\vec{c} - (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c})\vec{b}$
$(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c})\vec{a} - (\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})\vec{c}$
None of these
