In Exercises 30–35 compute the indicated quantities when $u = (- 3, 1, - 4), v = (2, 0, 5), and w = (1, 3, 13)$
role="math" localid="1649434688557" $v \times w and w \times v$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of $v \times w = - 15 i + 21 j + 6 k and w \times v = 15 i - 21 j - 6 k$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

The indicated quantities when $u = (- 3, 1, - 4), v = (2, 0, 5), and w = (1, 3, 13)$

We have to find the value of $v \times w and w \times v$

Step 2. Firstly finding the value of v×w

The value of vectors $v = (2, 0, 5), and w = (1, 3, 13)$

The cross product of

role="math" localid="1649434703174" $v \times w = \det [\begin{matrix} i & j & k \\ 2 & 0 & 5 \\ 1 & 3 & 13 \end{matrix}]$

Step 3. Now solving the matrix.

$v \times w = \det [\begin{matrix} i & j & k \\ 2 & 0 & 5 \\ 1 & 3 & 13 \end{matrix}] v \times w = ((0) (13) - (5) (3)) i + ((2) (13) - (5) (1)) j + ((2) (3) - (0) (1)) k v \times w = (0 - 15) i + (26 - 5) j + (6 - 0) k v \times w = - 15 i + 21 j + 6 k$

Step 4. Now finding the value of w×v

The value of vectors $v = (2, 0, 5), and w = (1, 3, 13)$

The cross product of

role="math" localid="1649434718022" $w \times v = \det [\begin{matrix} i & j & k \\ 1 & 3 & 13 \\ 2 & 0 & 5 \end{matrix}]$

Step 5. Now solving the matrix.

$w \times v = \det [\begin{matrix} i & j & k \\ 1 & 3 & 13 \\ 2 & 0 & 5 \end{matrix}] w \times v = ((3) (5) - (13) (0)) i + ((1) (5) - (13) (2)) j + ((1) (0) - (3) (2)) k w \times v = (15 - 0) i + (5 - 26) j + (0 - 6) k w \times v = 15 i - 21 j - 6 k$
