a) \(\overrightarrow n = \left( {{a_2}{b_3} - {a_3}{b_2};{a_3}{b_1} - {a_1}{b_3};{a_1}{b_2} - {a_2}{b_1}} \right) \ne \overrightarrow 0 \).

b) Ta có \(\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow n = {a_1}.\left( {{a_2}{b_3} - {a_3}{b_2}} \right) + {a_2}.\left( {{a_3}{b_1} - {a_1}{b_3}} \right) + {a_3}.\left( {{a_1}{b_2} - {a_2}{b_1}} \right)\)

\( = \left( {{a_1}{a_2}{b_3} - {a_1}{a_3}{b_2}} \right) + \left( {{a_2}{a_3}{b_1} - {a_2}{a_1}{b_3}} \right) + \left( {{a_3}{a_1}{b_2} - {a_3}{a_2}{b_1}} \right)\)

\( = \left( {{a_1}{a_2}{b_3} - {a_2}{a_1}{b_3}} \right) + \left( {{a_2}{a_3}{b_1} - {a_3}{a_2}{b_1}} \right) + \left( {{a_3}{a_1}{b_2} - {a_1}{a_3}{b_2}} \right) = 0\).

\(\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow n = {b_1}.\left( {{a_2}{b_3} - {a_3}{b_2}} \right) + {b_2}.\left( {{a_3}{b_1} - {a_1}{b_3}} \right) + {b_3}.\left( {{a_1}{b_2} - {a_2}{b_1}} \right)\)

\( = \left( {{a_2}{b_3}{b_1} - {a_3}{b_2}{b_1}} \right) + \left( {{a_3}{b_1}{b_2} - {a_1}{b_3}{b_2}} \right) + \left( {{a_1}{b_2}{b_3} - {a_2}{b_1}{b_3}} \right)\)

\( = \left( {{a_2}{b_3}{b_1} - {a_2}{b_1}{b_3}} \right) + \left( {{a_3}{b_1}{b_2} - {a_3}{b_2}{b_1}} \right) + \left( {{a_1}{b_2}{b_3} - {a_1}{b_3}{b_2}} \right) = 0\).

c) Vì \(\overrightarrow a .\overrightarrow n = 0;\overrightarrow b .\overrightarrow n = 0\) nên \(\overrightarrow a \bot \overrightarrow n ;\overrightarrow b \bot \overrightarrow n \).

Do đó \(\overrightarrow n \) là vectơ pháp tuyến của mặt phẳng (α).
