Suppose vectors u and v lie in the xy-plane (the 2- component of each vector is zero). Now suppose x- and y- components of u and the y-component of v are all positive, whereas the x-component of v is negative. Assuming the coordinate axes are oriented in the usual positions, in which direction does u x v point?
