VECTORPRODUCT (a,b)


  • and are any real numbers.

Description

  • This function shows the Cross product of two numbers.
  • Vector product is also called Cross product.
  • The Vector product is defined in three dimensional space and it is denoted by axb.
  • In VECTORPRODUCT (a,b), a and b are any two positive real numbers.
  • We can calculate the Cross Product this way:
  •   =  .  
  •   is the magnitude (length) of vector a
  •   is the magnitude (length) of vector b
  •   is the angle between a and b
  •   is the unit vector at right angles to both a and b.

Examples

  1. VECTORPRODUCT([2,3,5],[8,6,4]) = -18 32 -12
  2. VECTORPRODUCT([4,10,3.2],[9,5.3,4]) = 23.04 12.8 -68.8
  3. VECTORPRODUCT([5.3,7.2,8],[-6,-4,7]) = 82.4 -85.1 22.000000000000004
