Answer

$(-2,-1,1).$

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