Example Question #3431 : Calculus 3
Calculate , where
in the direction of
.
The first thing to check is to see if the direction vector is a unit vector.
In order to see if it is a unit vector, we need to take the magnitude and see if it is equal to .
Now we are going to take partial derivatives in respect to ,
, and then
, and then multiply each partial by the component of the unit vector that corresponds to it.
The formula is:
