Given the vector properties:

A x (B x C) = (A • C)B - (A • B)C

(A x B) x C = (A • C)B - (B • C)A

(A x B) x (C x D) = [A,C,D]B - [B,C,D]A

(A x B) • (C X D) = (A • C)(B • D) - (A • D)(B • C)

 

Derive the following 2 identities:

1) (A x B) • (B x C) x (C x A) = [A,B,C]2

2) A x (B x C) + B x (C x A) + C x (A x B) = 0
