QUESTION:

54-56. Scalar triple product Another operation with vectors is the scalar triple product, defined to be \(\mathbf{u} \cdot(\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{w})\), for vectors u, v, and w in \(\mathbf{R}^{3}\).

Express u, v, and w in terms of their components and show that \(\mathbf{u} \cdot(\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{w})\) equals the determinant

\(\left|\begin{array}{lll} u_{1} & u_{2} & u_{3} \\ v_{1} & v_{2} & v_{3} \\ w_{1} & w_{2} & w_{3} \end{array}\right| \)
