Prove the following using indicial notation: a. ∇ · (a x b) = b · (∇ x a) - a · (∇ x b) b. ∇ x (a x b) = a(∇ · b) - b(∇ · a) - (a · ∇)b + (b · ∇)a

Using indicial notation, prove the following (where a and b are vectors, and W is a second order tensor): (i) (a ⊗ b)^T = b ⊗ a (ii) W(a ⊗ b) = (Wa) ⊗ b
Using the indicial notation for vectors, prove that A x (B x C) = B(A · C) - C(A · B). In proving, the following relations can be useful: εijk = εjki = εkij and εijkεilm = δjlδkm - δjmδkl.
