3 2 −5
= [(-1)(-5) – (-1)(2)] 𝑖 – [(2)(-5) – (-1)(3)] 𝑗 + [(2)(2) – (-1)(3)] 𝑘
= [5 + 2] 𝑖 – [-10 + 3)] 𝑗 + [4 +(3)] 𝑘

AXB = [2 3 −1]
1 −4 2
= [(3)(2) – (-1)(-4)] 𝒊 – [(2)(2) – (-1)(1)]𝒋 + [(2)(-4) – (3)(1)]𝒌
= [6 – 4] 𝒊 – [4 + 1]𝒋 + [– 8 – 3]𝒌
= 2 𝒊 – 5𝒋 – 11 𝒌
6.2. BXA
Solution:
𝑖 𝑗 𝑘
BXA = [1 −4 2]
2 3 −1
= [(-1)(-4) – (3)(2)] 𝒊 – [(-1)(1) – (2)(2)]𝒋 + [(3)(1) – (2)(-4)]𝒌
= [4 – 6] 𝒊 – [-1 – 4]𝒋 + [3 + 8]𝒌
= – 2 𝒊 +5𝒋 + 11 𝒌
6.3. (A+B) X (A-B)

Solution:
A + B = ( 𝟐𝒊 + 𝟑𝒋 – 𝒌) + (𝒊 − 𝟒𝒋 + 𝟐𝒌)
= 3𝒊 − 𝒋 + 𝒌
A – B = ( 𝟐𝒊 + 𝟑𝒋 – 𝒌) – (𝒊 − 𝟒𝒋 + 𝟐𝒌)
= 𝒊 +7𝒋 – 3𝒌
So,
(A+B) X (A-B) = (3𝒊 − 𝒋 + 𝒌) X (𝒊 +7𝒋 – 3𝒌)
𝑖 𝑗 𝑘
= [3 −1 1]
1 7 −3
= [(-1)(-3) – (1)(7)] 𝒊 – [(3)(-3) – (1)(1)]𝒋 + [(3)(7) – (1)(-1)]𝒌
= [3 – 7] 𝒊 – [-9 – 1]𝒋 + [21 + 1]𝒌
= – 4 𝒊 +10𝒋 + 22 𝒌

7. Find the volume of the parallelepiped whose edges are represented by 𝐴 = 2𝑖 − 3𝑗 + 4𝑘 ; 𝐵 = 𝑖 + 2𝑗 −
𝑘 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶 = 3𝑖 − 𝑗 + 2𝑘.
Solution:
Volume = |A ∙ (BXC)|
BXC = (𝑖 + 2𝑗 – 𝑘) X (3𝑖 − 𝑗 + 2𝑘)

𝑖 𝑗 𝑘
= [1 2 -1]
3 -1 2
= [(2)(2) – (-1)(-1)] 𝒊 – [(1)(2) – (-1)(3)]𝒋 + [(1)(-1) – (2)(3)]𝒌
= [4 – 1] 𝒊 – [2 – 3]𝒋 + [-1 – 6]𝒌
= 3 𝒊 + 𝒋 – 7𝒌
then,
A ∙ (BXC) = (2𝑖 − 3𝑗 + 4𝑘) ∙ (3 𝒊 + 𝒋 – 7𝒌) since, i ∙ j = k ∙ j = i ∙ k = 0

i∙i=j∙j=k∙k=1
= (2)(3) i ∙ i + (-3)(1) j ∙ j + (4)(-7) k ∙ k
= 6 – 3 – 28
= – 25
So,
V = |A ∙ (BXC)|
= | - 25 |
V = 25 unit volume
8. Let the points P, Q and R have position vectors 𝑟1 = 3𝑖 − 2𝑗 −𝑘 ; 𝑟2 = 𝑖 + 3𝑗 + 4𝑘; 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟3 = 2𝑖 + 𝑗 − 2𝑘,
relative to an origin O. find the distance from P to the plane OQR.
Solution:
OQR plane: (r⃗⃗⃗2 = Q and ⃗⃗⃗
r3 = R)
r ∙ n̂ = 0 ; n̂ = normal to the plane
⃗⃗⃗
𝑟2 X 𝑟 ⃗⃗⃗3
n̂ = ⃗⃗⃗2 X 𝑟
⃗⃗⃗3 |
|𝑟
So,
⃗⃗⃗2 X 𝑟
𝑟 ⃗⃗⃗3
r∙ ⃗⃗⃗2 X 𝑟
⃗⃗⃗3 |
=0
|𝑟
Distance of ⃗⃗⃗
r1 (P) from OQR plane is:
⃗⃗⃗1 ∙ (𝑟
|𝑟 ⃗⃗⃗2 X 𝑟
⃗⃗⃗3 )|
D= ⃗⃗⃗2 X ⃗⃗⃗
|𝑟 𝑟3 |

𝑖 𝑗 𝑘
𝑟⃗⃗⃗2 X 𝑟⃗⃗⃗3 = [1 3 4 ] = [(3)(-2) – (4)(1)] 𝒊 – [(1)(-2) – (2)(4)]𝒋 + [(1)(1) – (2)(3)]𝒌
2 1 -2
= [-6 – 4] 𝒊 – [-2 – 8]𝒋 + [1 – 6]𝒌
= – 10 𝒊 +10 𝒋 – 5𝒌
And,
𝑟3 | = √(-10)2 + (10)2 + (-5)2

|𝑟⃗⃗⃗2 X ⃗⃗⃗
= √100 + 100 + 25
= √225
= 𝟏𝟓
𝑟1 ∙ (𝑟⃗⃗⃗2 X ⃗⃗⃗
⃗⃗⃗ 𝑟3 ) = (3𝑖 − 2𝑗 −𝑘) ∙ (– 10 𝒊 +10 𝒋 – 5𝒌) since, i ∙ j = k ∙ j = i ∙ k = 0
i∙i=j∙j=k∙k=1
= (3)(-10) + (-2)(10)+(-1)(-5)
= -30 – 20 + 5
= - 45
⃗⃗⃗⃗1 ∙ (𝑟
|𝑟 ⃗⃗⃗⃗2 X ⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑟3 )| |-45| 45
D= ⃗⃗⃗⃗2 X ⃗⃗⃗⃗
= = 15 = 3
|𝑟 𝑟3 | 15
Therefore, the distance of point P to OQR plane is 3 units.
