What happens if a unit vector is not used in calculating the directional derivative. From when I worked it out the directional derivative is multiplied by a scalar if a unit vector is not used. So I gather that the directional derivative must be calculated by a unit vector. Because it is still calculating a rate of change and a rate of change multiplied by a number is not the same answer. I was just curious if my answer was on the right track or way off. Thanks.
