Let u,v and w be vectors satisfying uv=3,uw=4,vw=5.

 

Then what are (u+2v)w,(wu)v,(3v2w)uequal to? Enter the list in the order above.

Try the method of substitution. You can put every variable in terms of another variable. For example, you could write u as 3/v, and w as 5/v. Where does that get you?

Here's my best attempt

 

(u +2v) * w  =  uw  + 2vw   =  4 + 2(5)  =  14

 

(w - u) * v  =   wv  - uv  =   5 - 3   =  2

 

(3v - 2w) * u   =     3vu - 2uw  =  3(3)  - 2(4) =  9 - 8   =  1
