Vector Triple Product -

For three  vectors \vec {\mathbf a},\;\vec{\mathbf b} and \vec {\mathbf c} vector triple product is defined as \vec {\mathbf a}\times\left ( \vec{\mathbf b}\times \vec{\mathbf c} \right ).
\vec {\mathbf a}\times\left ( \vec{\mathbf b}\times \vec{\mathbf c} \right )=\left ( \vec {\mathbf a}\cdot \vec {\mathbf c} \right )\cdot \vec {\mathbf b}\;-\;\left ( \vec {\mathbf a}\cdot \vec {\mathbf b} \right )\cdot \vec {\mathbf c}

\\\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}})=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}) \\ {\quad-(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}) \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}) \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}-(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}) \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}} \\ {\quad\quad\quad\quad-4 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=6(\hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{j}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})-4(\hat{\mathrm{i}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})} \\ {\quad\quad\quad\quad-4 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{k}}} \\ {\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=-\frac{1}{2}(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})} \\ {\quad\quad\quad\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=-\frac{1}{2}}
