Question

Give an example of a situation where finding the cross product of two sets is useful and explain why it is useful. Your example should include two sets and their cross product.

Answer 1

Remember that if I take the cross product of any two vectors then I get a perpendicular vector to the plane that the orginal two vectors form. Can you think of why this would be usefull?

Answer 2

not exactlyy :/

Answer 3

Cross product is useful when assigning weights to different items and finding net scores. You grade depends on 8 things, and each of them has a weight. You get some score in each of the eight things. Your net score is a cross product of the weights and your scores then added up.
