Assertion : For any three vectors

\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}

and

\mathrm{c}

\left[\begin{array}{lll}a & b & c\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{lll}b & c & a\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{lll}c & a & b\end{array}\right]

Reason : Cyclic permutation of three vectors does not change the value of the scalar triple product.

\vec r\cdot\vec a = \vec r\cdot\vec b = \vec r\cdot\vec c = 0

for some non-zero vector

\vec r,

then the value of

\left[ {\vec a\vec b\vec c} \right],

is The shortest distance between the lines

\frac{{x - 3}}{2} = \frac{{y - 2}}{3} = \frac{{z - 1}}{{ - 1}}

and

\frac{{x + 3}}{2} = \frac{{y - 6}}{1} = \frac{{z - 5}}{3},

is Let

\mathbf{\vec a} = \widehat \mathbf{i} - \mathbf{\hat k},\;\mathbf{\vec b} = x\widehat \mathbf{i} + \widehat \mathbf{j} + \left( {1 - x} \right)\mathbf{\hat k}

and

\mathbf{\vec c} = y\widehat \mathbf{i} + x\widehat \mathbf{j} + \left( {1 + x - y} \right)\mathbf{\hat k}.

Then

\left[ {\mathbf{\vec a},\;\mathbf{\vec b},\;\mathbf{\vec c}} \right]

depends on If

\vec{a}, \vec{b}

are non-zero vectors, then

((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times \vec{a}) \cdot((\vec{b} \times \vec{a}) \times \vec{b})

equals

a \cdot(a \times b)=

The length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane passing through the point a and containing the line
