Homework Statement


using Einstein notation, show the following identities are true

(A · B) : C = A^T · C : B = C · B^T : A



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


(A · B) : C=(A_{ij} · B_{jk} ) : C
= D_{ik} C_{ik}
= C_{ik} D_{ik}
= C_{ik} (A_{ij} · B_{jk} )

That's as far as I can get. No clue as what to do next, any pointers would be
greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for the response :)
I got it solved since then, I had trouble trying to convert the double inner product as
a summation. Once I figured that out, it was as easy as pie
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
