If vector Vector a = (3, 2, 9), and Vector b = (-4, 7, 2), find Vector a × Vector b.
I don't know what your method is but I got
(59,42,-29)
To find the cross product (or vector product) of two vectors, you can use the following formula:
Vector a × Vector b = (a2b3 - a3b2, a3b1 - a1b3, a1b2 - a2b1)
Let's substitute the given values into the formula:
Vector a × Vector b = (3*7 - 2*2, 2* -4 - 3*2, 3*2 - 2* -4)
Simplifying:
Vector a × Vector b = (21 - 4, -8 - 6, 6 + 8)
Vector a × Vector b = (17, -14, 14)
Therefore, Vector a × Vector b = (17, -14, 14)
