Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Multivariable Calculus

Let u=(2,4,5) , and v=(-2,6,10) .

Find $u\times v$ .

Possible Answers:

$u\times v=(40,-20,12)$

$u\times v=(0,-3,2)$

$u\times v=(10,-30,20)$

$u\times v=(10,30,20)$

$u\times v=(-10,30,-20)$

Correct answer:

$u\times v=(10,-30,20)$

Explanation:

We are trying to find the cross product between and .

Recall the formula for cross product.

If u=(u_x,u_y,u_z) , and v=(v_x,v_y,v_z) , then

$u\times v=(u_yv_z-u_zv_y, -u_xv_z+u_zv_x, u_xv_y-u_yv_x)$ .

Now apply this to our situation.

$u\times v=(4(10)-5(6),-2(10)+5(-2), 2(6)-4(-2))$

$u\times v=(40-30,-20-10, 12+8)$

$u\times v=(10,-30,20)$

$u\times v=(0,-3,2)$

$u\times v=(-10,30,-20)$

$u\times v=(10,-30,20)$

Correct answer:

$u\times v=(10,-30,20)$

Explanation:

Now apply this to our situation.

$u\times v=(4(10)-5(6),-2(10)+5(-2), 2(6)-4(-2))$

$u\times v=(40-30,-20-10, 12+8)$

$u\times v=(10,-30,20)$
