    How do I cross Del with (scalar*vector)?

    So does that mean that my left side is just εijk Bk,j α ? I feel like it's supposed to be broken up into two parts

    How do I cross Del with (scalar*vector)?

    Homework Statement Show that for any scalar field α and vector field B: ∇ x (αB) = ∇α x B + α∇ x BHomework Equations (∇ x B)i = εijk vk,j (∇α)i = αi (u x v)i = eijkujvk The Attempt at a Solution Since α is a scalar i wasn't quite sure how to cross it with ∇ So on the left side I have...
