Expert Solution
FORMULA:

We can find the cross product of two vectors using the determinant of the matrix as given below.

A = ai + bj + ck

B = xi + yj + zk

Thus, 

A × B = (bz – cy)i – (az – cx)j + (ay – bx)k

= (bz – cy)i + (cx – az)j + (ay – bx)k

Using the right-hand rule, we can determine the direction of the unit vector. In this rule, we can stretch our right hand so that the index finger is pointing in the first vector and the middle finger is pointing in the second vector. The right hand's thumb then represents the direction or unit vector n. We may simply demonstrate that the cross product of vectors is not commutative using the right-hand rule.
