It is not true that the equality u x (v x w) = (u x v)...

It is not true that the equality u x (v x w) = (u x v) x w for all vectors.

1. Find explicit vector for u, v and w where this equality does not hold.

2. U, V and W are all nonzero vectors that satisfy the equality. Show that at least one of the conditions below holds:

a) v is orthogonal to u and w.

b) w is a scalar multiple of u.

You can possibly use a x (b x c) = (a . c)b - (a . b)c

A2. Let v be a fixed vector in an inner product space V. Let W be the subset of V consisting of all vectors in V that are orthogonal to v. In set language, W = { w LaTeX: \in ∈V: <w, v> = 0}. Show that W is a subspace of V. Then, if V = R3, v = (1, 1, 1), and the inner product is the usual dot product, find a basis for W.
