Question
State whether the expression is meaningful. If not, explain why? If so, state whether it is a vector or a scalar:
`|bar"a"|. (bar"b" + bar"c")`
Solution
This is meaningless because `bar"a"` is a vector, `bar"b" + bar"c"` is a scalar and the scalar product of vector and scalar is not defined.
