4. The Cross Product - An Example

Directions:

Let [math]\mathbf{v} = 5\mathbf{j}[/math] and let [math]\mathbf{u}[/math] be a vector with length 3 that starts at the origin and rotates in the [math]xy-[/math]plane.

Part 1.

Find the maximum and minimum values of the length of the vector [math]\mathbf{u}\times\mathbf{v}[/math].

Part 2.

In what direction does [math]\mathbf{u}\times\mathbf{v}[/math] point?
