Final answer:

AxB in I-ready Math refers to the cross product of vectors A and B in vector calculus, resulting in a vector perpendicular to both A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question you're asking refers to the cross-product of two vectors in mathematics, specifically vector calculus. When you have two three-dimensional vectors, such as A represented by (Axî + Ayâ + Azˉ) and B represented by (Bxî + Byâ + Bzˉ), the cross product is a vector that is perpendicular to both A and B. To find AxB (the cross product of vectors A and B), you use the determinant of a matrix that consists of the unit vectors î, â, and ˉ in the first row, the components of vector A (Ax, Ay, Az) in the second row, and the components of vector B (Bx, By, Bz) in the third row. The result will be a new vector with components in the i, j, and k directions that are found through a series of multiplications and subtractions according to the rules of computing determinants.
