Answer

$(−2,4,-8).$

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, $D=a(ei-fh)-b(di-fg)+c(dh-eg).$ $u×v$ is the determinant of the matrix $\begin{bmatrix} i& j & k \\ -2& 1&1\\ 4&2 &0 \\ \end{bmatrix} $ Thus $u×v=(−2,4,-8).$ $(−2,4,-8)(-2,1,1)=4+4-8=0$, $(−2,4,-8)(4,2,0)=-8+8+0=0$, thus it is orthogonal to both $u$ and $v$
