### Understanding Vector Cross Product Components

#### Problem Context
Vector **u** has a **POSITIVE** x-component, **POSITIVE** y-component, and **ZERO** z-component.  
Vector **v** has a **NEGATIVE** x-component, **POSITIVE** y-component, and **POSITIVE** z-component.

#### Question
What is true about the cross product **u × v**?

#### Answer Options
- There is not enough information to know anything.
- It has **NEGATIVE** x-component, **NEGATIVE** y-component, **NEGATIVE** z-component
- It has **POSITIVE** x-component, **NEGATIVE** y-component, **NEGATIVE** z-component
- It has **POSITIVE** x-component, **NEGATIVE** y-component, **POSITIVE** z-component

#### Solution Explanation
To determine the components of the cross product **u × v**, we can use the formula for the cross product of two vectors in three-dimensional space:

Given
\[ \mathbf{u} = (u_x, u_y, u_z) \]
\[ \mathbf{v} = (v_x, v_y, v_z) \]

The cross product **u × v** is given by:
\[ \mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v} = \left( u_y v_z - u_z v_y, u_z v_x - u_x v_z, u_x v_y - u_y v_x \right) \]

Substitute the given values:
\[ \mathbf{u} = (u_x > 0, u_y > 0, u_z = 0) \]
\[ \mathbf{v} = (v_x < 0, v_y > 0, v_z > 0) \]

So,
\[ u \times v = \left( (u_y \cdot v_z - 0 \cdot v_y), (0 \cdot v_x - u_x \cdot v_z), (u_x \cdot v_y - u_y \cdot v_x) \right) \]
\[ = (u_y \cdot v_z, -u_x \cdot v_z, u_x \cdot v_y - u_y \cdot v_x) \]

### Interpreting the Signs:
1. **u_y \cdot v_z**: 
   - u_y > 0 (
