It should not be confused with the dot product (projection product). together with the cross product is an algebra over the real numbers, which is neither commutative nor associative, but is a Lie algebra with the cross product being the Lie bracket. vectors to produce a vector perpendicular to all of them.

Answer:
One way to evaluate the vector cross product is by using a determinant:
i j k
P X Q = 7 -6 2
2 -1 3
i j k
Q X P = 2 -1 3
7 -6 2
You can evaluate these determinants or use the rule that the interchange of two rows in a determinant causes a change in the sign of the determinant.
