last one!^^

\[(1,4,-3)\Lambda (2,1,6)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rajathsbhat @mathslover @Limitless @Yahoo!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does lambda stand for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat is that @bronzegoddess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um wait lemme see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a wedge that is used to denote skew communicative multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry @bronzegoddess i dont knw this...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that "wedge" is the greek letter lambda. lol As for the question, i have no idea what skew communicative multiplication is. Sorry. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plus i think that is "commutative".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not meant to be lambda.. i choose lamdba because it was closest to the actual symbol anyway an example from the book: \[(1,-3,2)\Lambda (4,1,3)= \begin{vmatrix} i & j &k \\ 1& -3&2 \\ 4&1& 3 \end{vmatrix}\] and yes it should be commutative

Cross Product?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer for the above would be = -11i+5j+13k =(-11,5,13)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aaahhh. The cross product.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cross product?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea, they call it that here.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Not to mention denoted with a cross... You just find the determinant of that matrix you provided, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

terenz is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just find the determinant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, i did. I got (27,12,-7) but its wrong somehow because the 12 is meant to be -12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is -12. Why aren't u getting it?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Hang on, I think the -7 is wrong too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, -7 is right.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Right, I accidentally added 2 and 4 instead of multiplying them... my bad... I think I'm getting drowsy, SORRY!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah i get it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's OK, terenz. Anyway, did u get -12, @bronzegoddess?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you! ^^ done, till tomorrow hopefully :) have a nice day guys and thx again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bye, @bronzegoddess!!
