Explain why it is not possible for Vector a • (Vector b • Vector c) to equal (Vector a • Vector b) • Vector c . (This means that the dot product is not associative.)

Verify using an example that Vector a + (Vector b • Vector c) is not equal to (Vector a + Vector b) • (Vector a +Vector c). (This means that addition does not distribute over the dot product.) Explain the problem that arises.

Use a specific example to prove that the cross product is also not associative. That is, use three specific vectors in 3-space to show that Vector a×(Vector b × Vector c) is not equal to (Vector a × Vector b) × Vector c. Can you help me think of an exampl...
