Question

The value of $(\vec{A} + \vec{B}) \times (\vec{A} - \vec{B})$ is

Moderate

A

0
B

$A^{2} - B^{2}$
C

$\vec{B} \times \vec{A}$
D

$2 (\vec{B} \times \vec{A})$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} (\vec{A} + \vec{B}) \times (\vec{A} - \vec{B}) = \vec{A} \times \vec{A} - \vec{A} \times \vec{B} + \vec{B} \times \vec{A} - \vec{B} \times \vec{B} \\ = 0 - \vec{A} \times \vec{B} + \vec{B} \times \vec{A} - 0 = \vec{B} \times \vec{A} + \vec{B} \times \vec{A} = 2 (\vec{B} \times \vec{A}) \end{array}$
