    1.

    v x w = 8 i - 24 j + 15 k + 10 j - 12 i - 24 k =

    = - 4 i - 14 j - 9 k

    Answer: D)

    2.

    v x w = - 16 i - 16 j - 18 k + 12 j + 48 i - 8 k =

    = 32 i - 4 j - 10 k

    Answer: C)

    3.

    The cross product:

    x =

    = - 21 i + 16 j - 30 k - 18 j - 10 i - 56 k =

    = - 31 j - 2 j - 86 k =

    Vectors are perpendicular if: cos (u, v) = 0

    * = 186 - 14 - 172 = 0

    * = - 248 - 10 + 258 = 0

    Answer: A), yes.
