Answer

$(-8,-14,54)$

Work Step by Step

We know that for a matrix $ \left[\begin{array}{rrr} a & b & c \\ d &e & f \\ g &h & i \\ \end{array} \right] $ the determinant, $D=a(ei-fh)-b(di-fg)+c(dh-eg).$ $u\times v$ is the determinant of the matrix $\begin{bmatrix} i & j& k \\ 12&-3&1\\ -2&5&1\\ \end{bmatrix} $ Thus $u\times v=(-8,-14,54)$ $(-8,-14,54)(12,-3,1)=-96+42+54=0$, $(-8,-14,54)(-2,5,1)=16-70+54$, thus it is orthogonal to both $u$ and $v$
