The cross product of vectors and is given by <(bz-cy), (cx-az), (ay-bx)>. In this case the cross product is <22, -45, -12>.

<8, 4, −2> X <−1, −1, 6> = <(46-(-2-1)), ((-2-1)-86), ((8-1)-(4-1))>
= <(24-2), (3-48), -8-(-4)> = <22, -45, -12>

What is the cross product of <8, 4 ,-2 ><8, 4 ,-2 > and <-1, -1, 6 ><-1, -1, 6 >?
