What is the cross product of #[3,2, 5]# and #[1,2,-4] #?

Answer 1

The cross product is #=〈-18,17,4〉#

Let the vectors be #veca=〈a_1,a_2,a_3〉# and #vecb=〈b_1,b_2,b_3〉#

The cross product is given by #veci##color(white)(aaaa)##vecj##color(white)(aaaa)##veck# #a_1##color(white)(aaaaa)##a_2##color(white)(aaaa)##a_3# #b_1##color(white)(aaaaa)##b_2##color(white)(aaaa)##b_3#

#=〈a_2b_3-a_3b_2,a_3b_1-a_1b_3,a_1b_2-a_2b_1〉#

With the vectors #〈3,2,5〉# and #〈1,2,-4〉# we get the cross product #〈-8-10,12+5,6-2〉# #=〈-18,17,4〉#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
