Answer

$\frac{(1,-3,3)}{\sqrt{19}}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $ai+bj+ck=(a,b,c).$ We know that for a matrix $ \left[\begin{array}{rrr} a & b & c \\ d &e & f \\ g &h & i \\ \end{array} \right] $ the determinant, $D=a(ei-fh)-b(di-fg)+c(dh-eg).$ A vector orthogonal to $u$ and $v$ is $u\times v$. $u×v$ is the determinant of the matrix $\begin{bmatrix} i& j & k \\ 3& 1&0\\ 0&1 &1 \\ \end{bmatrix} $ Thus $u×v=(1,-3,3).$ And a unit vector parallel to this is: $\frac{u\times v}{|u\times v|}=\frac{(1,-3,3)}{\sqrt{1^2+(-3)^2+3^2}}=\frac{(1,-3,3)}{\sqrt{19}}$
