How to Find Mixed Product of Vectors

Example #1
Let's find the mixed product of vectors in three-dimensional space. Vector coordinates are given by points.
Coordinates of point A of vector AB: (7; 9 ; -7)
Coordinates of point B of vector AB: (-1 ; 0 ; 16)
Coordinates of point C of vector CD: (-4 ; -6 ; 2)
Coordinates of point D of vector CD: (3 ; 0 ; 9)
Coordinates of point E of vector CD: (14 ; -1 ; 2)
Coordinates of point F of vector CD: (6 ; -3 ; -4)

Step by step solution:

Let's calculate the coordinates of the first vector from two points A and B:

AB = {xB - xA  ; yB - yA; zB - zA} = {-1 - 7 ; 0 - 9 ; 16 - (-7)} = {-8 ; -9 ; 23}

Let's calculate the coordinates of the second vector from two points C and D:

CD = {xD - xC  ; yD - yC; zD - zC} = {3 - (-4) ; 0 - (-6) ; 9 - 2} = {7 ; 6 ; 7}

Let's calculate the coordinates of the third vector from two points E and F:

EF = {xF - xE  ; yF - yE; zF - zE} = {6 - 14 ; -3 - (-1) ; -4 - 2} = {-8 ; -2 ; -6}

The mixed product of vectors is a number equal to the value of the determinant of the third-order matrix, the rows of which are the coordinates of the vectors being multiplied. Let's find the value of the determinant:

Example #2
Let's find the mixed product of vectors in three-dimensional space.
Vector coordinates a: (5 ; 1 ; 7)
Vector coordinates b: (2 ; 4 ; 6)
Vector coordinates c: (3 ; 8 ; 9)

Step by step solution:

The mixed product of vectors is a number equal to the value of the determinant of the third-order matrix, the rows of which are the coordinates of the vectors being multiplied. Let's find the value of the determinant:
