VECTORPRODUCT (a,b)

OR

CROSSPRODUCT (a,b)

• $a$ and $b$ 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:
• $aXb$ = $\mid a\mid$.$\mid b\mid$$sin(\theta )n$
• $\mid a\mid$ is the magnitude (length) of vector a
• $\mid b$ is the magnitude (length) of vector b
• $\theta$ is the angle between a and b
• $n$ 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
