Question 35 / 40:  For the vectors A= 4 i + 2 j + 8 k and B = 3i -2 j - 7 k, where i, j, and k are unit vectors in a rectangular coordinate system, perform the following task. Calculate A x B.
A  -14 k + 52 j+ 2i
B  -14 k - 52 j+ 2i
C  -14 k + 12 j + 2i
D  -14 k + 52 j- 2i
E  14 k- 52 j - 2i

Explanation:

A simple way to calculate the cross product is to write the vectors: Add the products along the blue diagonals and subtract those along the red diagonals to obtain -14 k + 52j + 2i. There are many other ways to remember this pattern; you may wish to learn and repeat one a few times.
