Homework Equations


de^{a}=-\omega^{a}_{b}\wedge e^{b}


The Attempt at a Solution


de^{a}=-\omega^{a}_{b}\wedge e^{b}
##=-\omega^{a}_{b,\nu} e^{b}_{\mu} dx^{\nu}\wedge dx^{\mu}##
##=-\omega^{a}_{b,c} e^{b}_{[\mu}e^{c}_{\nu]} dx^{\nu}\wedge dx^{\mu}##
as it is antisymmetric in ##\mu## and ##\nu##.So it is also antisymmetric in b and c.Thus one can conclude from here.

I have reformatted your question so that the TeX commands would be visible.
