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