Answer

$10\textbf{i}-8\textbf{j}-7\textbf{k}$

Work Step by Step

We calculate the cross-product as follows: $\textbf{v}\times\textbf{w}=\begin{vmatrix}\textbf{i}&\textbf{j}&\textbf{k}\\1&3&-2\\2&-1&4\end{vmatrix}$ $=\textbf{i}(3\times4-(-1\times-2))-\textbf{j}(1\times4-2\times-2)+\textbf{k}(1\times-1-2\times3)$ $=10\textbf{i}-8\textbf{j}-7\textbf{k}$
