Unlike the scalar dot product, the cross product of two three-dimensional vectors is a vector. To compute it, you can use the determinant mnemonic, expanding its component formula with alternating signs.

Conditions: The vectors are three-dimensional.; You are using the determinant mnemonic to find the components.
