Step-by-step solution
3 stepsTo find , we first need to determine the vector and then compute the cross product.
The given vectors are:
(which can be written as )
Find the vector .
To find , we multiply each component of by :
Calculate the cross product .
We use the determinant formula for the cross product:
Expand the determinant:
Compare the result with the given options.
The calculated result is .
Let's check the options:(a)
(b)
(c)
(d) None
Our calculated vector does not exactly match option (b) because of the sign of the component. Since it does not match any of the options (a), (b), or (c), the correct choice is (d).
The final answer is .
