Find v × w if v = 3i + 8j – 6k and w = –4i – 2j – 3k.

a. –2i + 8j – 3k
b. –36i + 33j + 26k
c. 33i + 26j + 8k
d. 3i – 2j + 8k

Using the determinant method, the cross product is

so the answer is B.

Or you can apply the properties of the cross product. By distributivity, we have

(3i + 8j - 6k) x (-4i - 2j - 3k)

= -12(i x i) - 32(j x i) + 24(k x i) - 6(i x j) - 16(j x j) + 12(k x j) - 9(i x k) - 24(j x k) + 18(k x k)

Now recall that

Putting these rules together, we get

(3i + 8j - 6k) x (-4i - 2j - 3k)

= -32(-k) + 24j - 6k + 12(-i) - 9(-j) - 24i

= (-12 - 24)i + (24 + 9)j + (32 - 6)k

= -36i + 33j + 26k

answer: r there any options?

step-by-step explanation:

sas (side angle side)

aa(angle angle)

sss(side side side)

sas you have to find two sides with an angle in between

aa you find two angles because it will always add up to 180

sss find all sides
