$v$ and $w$ are vectors, they aren't given. I have no idea how to do this and apparently it's asked on a quiz as a "surprise" question.

Note that the cross product is what we call anti-commutative, i.e.



$$(vec{v} times vec{w}) = - (vec{w} times vec{v})$$



I feel like this fact will simplify your work greatly.

  • Well, the zero vector, $vec{0} = 0hat{i} + 0hat{j} + 0hat{k}$, more appropriately, but yeah you get the idea.

SQL update select statement

I'm having a problem with updating the query: INSERT INTO prices (price, product_id) SELECT product_price, commn_id FROM products_temp as prod WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM prices od WHERE prod.commn_id = od.product_id) OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) Query works fine when i delete: OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) So it seems to me that it's looping through this operation. My question is, how can I fix it? sql postgresql
