Question
If $\vec{\text{a}},\vec{\text{b}},\vec{\text{c}}$ are three non-coplanar vectors, then $\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big[\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big)\times\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big)\big]$ equals:
  1. $0$
  2. $\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]$
  3. $2\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]$
  4. $-\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]$

Answer

  1. $-\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]$
Solution:
$\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big[\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big)\times\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big)\big]$
$=\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big(\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{c}}\big)$
$=\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}+\vec{\text{c}}\big).\big(\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{c}}+\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{c}}\big)$
$=0+0+\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]+\big[\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]+0+0+0+\big[\vec{\text{c}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{a}}\big]+0$
$=-\big[\vec{\text{a}}\vec{\text{b}}\vec{\text{c}}\big]$
