Theres gonna be a lot of chain rule
calvin
chain rule ofc
so i wrote $(4t^2-9)9(4t^3+16t)^8$
calvin
would that work
thats wrong
lol
derivative of t^4 + 8t^2 -3
i didn't do the derivative of the inside yet
i just applied power rule to $(t^4 + 8t^2 -3)^9$
calvin
i was confused why there is 4t^2 - 9 term here
uhm
just remove 4t^2 - 9 first
calvin
just compute this and forget abt 4t^2 - 9, that will be done seperately
chain rule
calvin
yes
now i multiply by $(4t^2 - 9)$
calvin
thats not how productt rule works
oh wait
d/dx f(x) * g(x) = f'(x) * g(x) + f(x) * g'(x)
$9(4t^2 - 9)(t^4 + 8t^2 -3)^8(4t^3 + 16t)$
using product rule
calvin
uhm
bro
jjmoiqfnoinfefionfof\
you are saying d/dx f(x) g(x) = f'(x) g(x)
😭
but that is wrong
read this
find the derivative of 4t^2 - 9
what
yep
why isn't my windows key working wth
now plug in f(x) , g(x), f'(x) , g'(x) into the product rule formula
wait lemme restart my pc
its breakuing
ok back
is g' the whole thing that we found
using chain rule
yeah
so $9(4t^3+16t)(t^4+8t^2-3)^8$
calvin
all of that??
yeah this is the derivative of g(x)
k thx
problem solved?
ok so i got
$(4t^2-9) \cdot (9)(t^4 + 8t^2 -3)^8(4t^3 + 16t) + (8t)(t^4 + 8t^2 -3)^9$

can someone explain the things i have underlined?
Melo alr tried helping me with why P(C chosen) = 1/ 2^(n-k)
but i dont rlly get it
Why i think P(C chosen) is hard to compute :
1/(2^n-1) is the probability that C is chosen on the first day. To find the probability that C is chosen (in total), we need to sum over all days.
ive tried writing out the sum and its just too ugly
Melo said that a cookie can be : chosen or a superset of it is chosen
P( C chosen) + P(C 's superset chosen) = 1
The logic behind 1/2^(n-k) is really faulty in my opinion
cause this is true over all days. Not just 1 day
you cant just say P(C chosen on first day) + P(C's superset chosen on first day) = 1
but this seems to be what the book is saying.
and how did they apply binomial theorem?? I dont see how they used it there
Ping me to reply guys
@storm haven Has your question been resolved?
It would probably help if you wrote some basic examples to convince yourself the formula makes sense.
I want to understand the logic tho
Take n = 2, then the subsets are {1,2,{1,2}}. Then convince yourself that P(Cookie {1,2}) = 1 etc
Okkk
Yeah and if you can't convince yourself when n = 2 then you can't convince yourself in the general case
Well, is there any way other than just looking at examples?
Math is built on starting with examples to build intuition then use that intuition to develop more complex things. I don't know why you are so reluctant and want to skip ahead.
Chill I know what math is bro...
Js asking if there's a faster method 🙄
My examples are not exampling
oh did you already get the green arrow?
No
I'm explaining that green arrow
Oh ok👌
continue from this
you can rewrite the general term as $\frac {nCk \cdot 2^k \cdot 1^(n-k)}{2^n}$
DeC∆rbonizeD
wtf
1^(n-k) I meant
Why is that there tho
it is basically just 1
It's just =1
if you sum up all the terms then it's just $\frac {(2+1)^n}{2^n}$
DeC∆rbonizeD
I don't see binomial theorem anywhere near
you see it now?
Why??
I don't get why 
try expanding (2+1)^n using binomial theorem
the other part... I haven't even read the question lol
It's so confusing
Wait what?
Why is there -(1/2) ^n
I don't get it
Oh I get it
Nvm
uhh I don't even understand the problem
Wdym
so you have 2^n-1 cookies
Yes
and you have n sets right?
The question is there are 2^n-1 subsets and label them for each cookie in 2^n-1 cookies. When eat a cookie we also eat all the cookies labeled its subset
ahhh I get it now
Ahem, why on Earth is P(C chosen) = 1/2^(n-|C|)????! 
Hoi này
a biến đây
C chỉ là số mà bánh quy đó đc đặt
I don't think so
C is the number of elements of the label of the cookie
Or my Google Translate is dumb
<@&286206848099549185>
Ping me to reply
@storm haven can you check me on this
Yuh
so suppose I choose a cookie with C elements
Yes
then I have to also eat all the other cookies that are the subset of that set right?
Yes
Which means I have to eat 2^C-1 cookies
Yep
so the probability of those cookies being chosen is (2^C-1)/(2^n-1)
which is roughly 1/2^(n-C)
Am I getting sth wrong here
What if there are less than 2^n -1 cookies?
I.e. some cookies are alr eaten?
That's the main problem....
Tbh I should just open this tmrw
I appreciate ur help bro
But I gtg
.close
Closed by @storm haven
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
alrighty
I also thought of that but that doesn't make sense
This is why writing down some examples are helpful. The probability that cookie C is chosen is the probability that C is chosen before any of its super set elements are selected.
There are 2^(n-|C|) super sets, and only 1 cookie C. So the probability is 1 divided by 2^(n-|C|)
e.g., as I've already shown here. the cookie {2,1} has no super set, so the probability of it being chosen is 1.
ahh got it
This has been an hour of going in circles over a reluctance to study the problem and understand it when n = 2.

ok another one. for two values x and y, you compute the arithmetic mean and geometric mean, and do that again for the new two values. what will they converge to? what if n points?

Integrate 2x+3/5x^2 + 1
use quotient rule?
Wha is that
Shudnt we change the limits as well
1/(a²+x²)
yea 2 frac
Yes then then dx becomes du
after substitution yeah
this
do you mean
$$\int_0^1 \frac{2x+3}{5x^2+1} \dd{x}$$
ℝαμOmeganato5
you find u then you differentiation find dx replace and stuff
i think he means that yeah
But if we were to change by substitution, shudnt the limit change as well
Bruh how
I got ans without changing the limits
depends on personal preference
if you don't update the limits as you go
you'll need to be very careful with your notation
for what's written to be valid
can you take a pic of what you did
I dont know why i didnt change limits but the ans is correct
what did you do after
Theres a whole another exercise where i have to sub u and change limits, i aint getting ans without changing limits in the next exercise
multiple errors may cancel each other out
After using du/ u then i got 1/5 log u
Then sub u = 5x2+1
Then i got 1/5 log 6
ok, so this is a notation issue
So i used wrong notations?
unless explicitly stated, the bounds of the integral are associated with the differential present
if you want to keep the bounds as 0 and 1, after sub with u
you'd need to explicitly write x=0, x=1 instead of just 0 and 1
This is still surface level-
Cuz ncert is trash w/e
Oh💀😭
What he means is when u substitute u can change the limits to the variable u used to substitute
It reduces steps
that wasn't really the point i was making
Oh?
while i do find it more efficient to update the bounds as you do the sub,
the point i'm trying to make here was in regards to the notation issue
So pls tell what does a notation issue mean
if you don't want to update the bounds, then you'd need to write
$$\frac15 \int_{\red{x=}0}^{\red{x=}1} \frac{\dd{u}}{u}$$
ℝαμOmeganato5
Ok, so the ans is still right?
U gettin ans without changing huh
i would describe a notation issue as something that resembles something close to what's supposed to happen,
but violates/conflicts with mathematical laws in some way
I did change lemme be a lil clear
So like its kinda right, but technically wrong
yes
like writing \
$=x+1^2 \
= x^2 + 2x + 1$ \
would be an example of a notation issue
ℝαμOmeganato5
Well i got the ans without changing the limits
I get it now
Its because i bring back the u in terms of x, so x limits work when its in x
its an acceptable method and depending on how strict the teacher is, you may lose marks
if you skimp on notation
yes
It's a step less
Changing the limits or no.)?
Changing i would say
up to personal preference
what's easier is whatever you find more comfortable
though i would personally recommend updating bounds as you go

what is the difference bewteen the jacobian matrix and the gradient?
the jacobian of a scalar valued function is the gradient
gradients are typically only defined for scalar valued functions
OOhh
okay that makes a lot of sense
but yeah the fundamental idea behind it is the same
i like to think of gradients and jacobians as analogous just different use cases
did you take linear algebra?
yeah i did
ythere's another way to view the gradient
the steepest ascent?
holding look up which one is vector which is covector to not make a mistake
okay the gradient is the vector associated with the covector df, the total differential
is a different way to view it
less intuitive, but interesting
nice i didnt know that
wow
but i have a question though..
so if i had a function that takes vectors from R^2 and spits out vectors in R^2. in order to differentiate the vector valued function, i will need to take the jacobian. which in this case will be a 2x2 matrix right?
yes
okay perfect
however be careful
very often when people say "Jacobian" they mean the determinant of the Jacobian matrix
so you should say "Jacobian matrix" if it's not clear whethe ryou mean the determinant or the matrix itself
what is teh determinant of the jacobian matrix?
what does it say about the function?
represents how much the area/volume/whatever differential element gets shrunk or grown
which makes sense, because the determinant of any matrix cvan be thought of as the volume of a parallelipiped

So its my first day in this math course for community college (online) and after watching 3 short videos on how to do linear inequalities I started the first homework. The first question looks nothing like anything in the videos, theres an "or" in there and there's a "|" which is usually used for absolute value but its just open with no other "|" to close it. I'm pretty bad at math and I'm just taking this class because I need it. Thanks.
| here does not mean
absolute value
Do u know sets?

Or means
It can be this
Or that
And means
It has to be both
nah
To actually write something clear, the | means "such that", the set is basically saying "all values x such that x <= 5 or x >= 2"
oh alr
so its just saying thats what x is, it could be either of the 2
or no, it is
No it says
using those 2 i find what x is
Yep, x can either be less than or equal to -5, or it could be greater than or equal to 2 
X is more than equal to 2
x <= -5
x >= 2
ohhh
yo when you broke it down for me
i understand it now
thanks man

I’m confused on how come I’m not subtracting one point from the other and that’s my direction vector? How did they get their answer?
likely scaled the direction vector so that all the components are integer values? that's my guess
,calc 3*(5)-(-2)
Result:
17
yeah that's probably it :), so when the subtraction occurs we have a fraction, so multiply each component by 3
the direction doesn't change, but integers in the components make everything nicer i suppose
Nvm they js simplified
Yea
Was looking at it again n js game back
Thanks

How come for #19 and #21 I use both vectors as my coeff for t even though one problem says it’s parallel and another says it’s perpendicular. Having a hard time visualizing it and understanding why if someone could explain or like draw it out please and thanks.
@ me if u reply
@rough moss Has your question been resolved?
No
Are the coefficients of any equations the normal vector
And since in 21 I was given the vector its not the normal vector its the direction one
41 btw
But
So
If im finding the plane that’s perpendicular to n
Yea bro idk what to do ts is confusing the fuck out of me
I need help 😭
<@&286206848099549185>
For both questions
For 41, I believe we should start by trying to find all points (x,y,z) such that the vector with tip at (x,y,z) and tail at (3,2,2) is perpendicular to the vector 2i+3j-k
So the tail of the vector n should be at 3,2,2?
and I need to find the points at the tip?
Not vector n, but some new vector that should be perpendicular to vector n
Could you draw it out for me 😭
I’m so lost
I swear it made sense in class but now it just doesn’t
This Calculus 3 video tutorial explains how to find the equation of a plane given a point on the plane and the perpendicular vector to the plane which is also known as the normal vector.
Area - Vector Cross Product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbZmAqGUkqc
Triple Scalar Product:
https://www.youtub...
Should I watch this
is the vector like level with the plane?
Yes
In terms of x,y and z
And then the plane
How 😭
I can’t do dot product can I and set it equal to 0
Subtract the tail point from the tip point
So x-3,y-2, etc
It's probably like in the video you linked
This is correct
The dot product of that vector and vector n should be 0
How do I get x y and z tho 😭
So we have our vector (x-3,y-2,z-2) and (2,3,-1)
we already have (2x-6)+(3y-6)+(-z+2)=0
yes, move the constants onto the right side
2x+3y-z=10
wait is that it
YO WHAY
HOWD I GET THAT
😭
i don’t need to like actually find what the vector equals
or what it is
not really
not really
Are you sure
yes
Can I friend you and ask you questions later bc I like Just started this course and I’m alr struggling 3 days in 😭
And you’re like Lagrange reborn
i might not be available all the time though
that’s okay
Any help is better than none

Hi
howdo i get inverse of 3x3 and 4x4 matrices with the inverse next to the matrix
Wdym the inverse next to the matrix
Oh
U mean like
idk how to code it with the bot I’ll write it down
Yea yea
yea idk how to apply the changes to the right side properly
Ignore the top but you have your 3x3 and then you add the 100,010,001 I believe right
Then all u gotta do is make ur original matrix that 100,010,001
yea
i just can not seem to get the rightside correct
i cant apply the changes correctly
and i dont even know how to do it on a 4x4
its the same process for 4x4
You want to make the left part/side of the matrix into this
Or this
once u make the left side match the uh wtv that’s called I forget the right side will be what ur inverse is
\textbf B = \left[\begin{array}{rrr}2 & 1 & 2 \ 1 & 2 & 2 \ 2 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right]

yea this is an example oen
like first step can i swap r1 with r2
i would have to do same on right side aswell right
yep
but then once i do that i need to get 0s so i do -2r1 + r2
Yea it’s basically all one matrix
U do the same
i switch that 1 for a -2?
one sec I’ll try to do it out rq
ok
,rccw
please write the matrix symbol this is a little unreadable lol
Ok
matrices without the brackets 🥀
tbh it's efficient for computing ever so faster
I was too lazy to draw them lol
but it can be harder to read
also like to draw a line in between the given matrix and identity matrix
Yea I used to do that
Then I got too lazy to
And my precalc teacher hated me
I drew the brackets at least back then
||0,0,1/2
-1,1,1/2
1,-1/2,-3/4||
watch it be wrong
that’d be horrible
My solutions be like 
i do not understand anything

I need help with this question like idk how to solve it and AI says to integrate both sides but like by what?? im pretty sure u can't just put an integral sign on both sides when the left is by dx and the right is by dt.
V(x) refers to velocity
Which means it's dx/dt
Where x is the displacement
I think it's allowed to put integrals kn both sides even if the variables r different
can't you just integrate the velocity function?
you don't need separation of variables

I keep getting confused on the chain rule and when to use it. My calc class is going over implicit differentiation and it seems like everything uses the chain rule. I got the product and quotient rule just fine, but now for some reason this section is super confusing.
chain rule is for function composition
do you know what composition is?
like a function inside a function
$\sin \qty( \sqrt x )$
jan Niku
Yes
But what if it was a 2x instead of just an x...would that be chain rule or product rule or both? Or 2xy in the square root?
Yeah, something like that for example. As these get more complicated, I lose track of what rule to use, how to tell, and if I have to use multiple, what order to do them in
jan Niku
they describe chain rule like peeling an onion
you can do anything which is helpful
for me, I liked to rename functions that made me confused, because I like the symbolic process
like I would define $S(x) = \sqrt x$ here
jan Niku
then do $\dv x \qty( S[2xy] )$
jan Niku
you can abuse notation, too
@odd urchin do you feel like you understand when chain rule, product rule, etc are applied individually?
like just given some situation where only one was required, do you think youd reliably identify it?
Product rule yes. Chain rule no.
You look at what's done last. Like in that example, square root is done last, so you handle it first. It's a function, and you have something other than x inside, so you use the chain rule.
If only one is required, I might be able to identify chain rule. When it's tougher, probably not
Chain rule is just for functions inside functions
if the input to a function is another function, then you need the chain rule
like here, can you identify the function composition?
like an example of a chain rule question that I'm not sure of what to do is y=cos(a^3 + x^3)
sure
I know cos (x) is the outside function
$\dv x \qty[ \cos (a^3+x^3) ]$
jan Niku
yea, thats right
the inside is a^3 + x^3
yup 
but taking the derivative of a^3 I'd need to use the implicit differentiation, right?
is a a function of x?
y
a is a function of y?
oh
right?
well in the case that you have y=
we usually think of y as a function of x
at least here it's true
y= on the left side
so when you have something like this
y = (a bunch of stuff with only x, and not y)
we'd call that an explicit function
you want the value of y, you plug in x on the other side
this is compared to an implicit function, say something like $\sqrt{ y(x) } + x^2 = 4$
jan Niku
when you have an implicit function, you need implicit differentiation
this is an explicit function, so normal differentiation is fine
does that help 
if its hard to isolate y = ..., you need implicit
Okay, that makes sense on the explicit versus implicit...I'm gonna try to use the chain rule on this example I sent earlier and see what I get. Gimme one second and I'll show you what I get
on the cosine? alright
y=-sin(a^3 + x^3) (3a^2 + 3x^2)
Almost. a is considered a constant. What's the derivative of a constant?
It's just the normal way of doing things.
x, y, and z are frequently variables.
m, n can be variables.
But like a, b, c, k are constants.
okay, let me retry with that in mind and see what I get
OK.
y=-sin(3x^2)(3x^2)
No, remember that you do -sin(leave the stuff inside the same).
the mnemonic is, derivative of outside, times derivative of the inside
ohhhhh wait I think I see what I did wrontg
I need to keep the a^3 inside of the sin, right?
it is only 0 on the second set of parenthesis because we are differentiating it
so it is y=-sin(a^3+x^3)(3x^2) ?
Also, a small mistake is you have y =, but it should be y' = because now you have the derivative of y.
ahh yeah that's right
😮
you wanna try an implicit one
Yeah, I've got one for that, too
sure
or wait actually this is a related rates question, i'm not sure if it is implicit or not yet
they can be implicit, yea
a lot of times they involve the chain rule
hard to say without seeing the problem though yea 
How do you feel about starting
First I think we should list what we know already
Which for me, isn't really anything lol
Well, we have the flux, right
It's usually something that I draw, but I'm not sure what to draw
we do know the flux formula
I imagine a blood vessel as a cylindrical shape, no?
does that mean I need the volume of a cylinder formula or something?
then I am lost
just because its an application question
you notice the flux formula
they give you two things, one is k, they dont bother defining it
and radius
the other is R, and its given as the radius of the blood vessel
where is radius measured here?
which measurement is the angioplasty increasing
the halfway point between the yellow-ish parts of the vessel?
yea, its really like, from the center of the blood vessel, to the outside
It's an up and down type of measurement as opposed to side to side?
you can measure it any way you want, actually
Here's a piece of our blood vessel
You'll notice height is conspicuously missing from your flux formula
it must be talking about only one tiny slice
a circular cross section
make sense?
so it's just a 2D circle?
in our model, yea
so we're imagining something like this
and we think of the blood as flowing either into our out of the page
and we are looking at how the volume changes as the radius increases?
how much the flow changes as the radius changes, yea
so basically how much more flow we get with a 5% radius increase
They ask you a handful of questions
"Show that the relative change in F is about four times the relative change in R"
so, if we change R a little bit, we hope that F changes about 4 times as much
Can you see the function they're talking about
they do tell you $F = kR^2$, but whats a function of what
F=kR^4
jan Niku
we want to differentiate the equation, with respect to what
well what parameter are we imagining varying
i should say variable
the idea with a function is you control one thing, and then the function tells you how something else changes
well I assume k is a constant, so it cannot be that
you dont change the something else, it just reacts to the thing you can change
and we are changing both F and R
when we do the angioplasty, we're inflating the vessel, growing the radius
we hope this has an impact on the flux, to restore a more normal blood flow
so we control the radius, and the flux changes as a result
This means $F(R) = kR^4$
jan Niku
which maybe makes it more clear what to differentiate with respect to what
well, we have to differentiate both sides
but we usually do it with respect to the variable we can control
So since this is with respect to R, we do implicit differentiation on F?
is the function implicit or explicit 
so the derivative of F is equal to 1 (dF/dR)?
ah well we could separate them, so it would just be explicit
jan Niku
looks separated
yes
jan Niku
can you apply the derivative to both sides? whats the resulting equation?
(btw k is just some constant, that's another one thats common used to mean "some number")
so the derivative of F would just be 1?
jan Niku
jan Niku
but x = R here?
so it would be 1 (R)
jan Niku
unfortunately, no
it is, yea
So I don't need to do anything aside from take the derivative of F, which is 1
the derivative of F isnt 1, though
the derivative of F with respect to R is another function
we usually call it $F'(R)$
jan Niku
or $\dv{F}{R}$
jan Niku
I thought you only did the "with respect to" something if it is implicit?
well every derivative is with respect to something
I have no idea what to do now
the special thing about an explicit function is that you don't need to collect a bunch of derivatives afterwards
like if we have $y^2 + x^2 = 1$ then differentiation gives us $2yy'+2x=0$
jan Niku
its not important at the moment to be able to track that result fully out
but you should notice that the derivative is an implicit function here
just like we started with something that wasnt y = ....
we ended up with something that wasnt y' = ...
if you differentiate an explicit function, you get an explicit derivative
y(x) = something
then y'(x) = something
idk if that helps 
I'm not sure what this is getting at for F here
we started with $F(R)$
jan Niku
that tells us, for some radius, how much blood is flowing through that circle over some time
if we plug in different R, we get different flux
if you differentiate F with respect to R, you get a derivative
F'(R) tells you how the flow changes as you change the radius
I'm with you so far
jan Niku
so $F'(R) = \dv R \qty( kR^4)$
jan Niku
can you do the derivative
well the derivative uses the product rule on the right side
I still have no idea what the left side would be if not 1
I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what it is I'm missing here 😢
its just a function
you know how if you have like
$y(x) = x^2$ then $y'(x) = 2x$
jan Niku
y' doesn't evaluate to anything, if you dont plug in an x
So I don't need to take the derivative of F at all?
no, you do
but its a function
so it goes from F to F'
@rapid sky you still around 
my sleeping pills are kicking in
But we're trying to see how one side's rate of change effects the other, so we take the derivative of both sides?
jan Niku
so the derivative of the right side is 4kR^3
then $\dv R F = \dv R \qty( kR^4)$
jan Niku
so $\dv{F}{R} = 4kR^3$
jan Niku
and the derivative of F would just be 1 or it would be 1(dF/dR)
yeah bc 1 x dF/dR = dF/dR
i guess the 1 makes me nervous where its coming from, but sure
derivative of F = 1 but since it's respect to R, it would be 1 x dF/dR
derivative of F is not 1
its F'
I'm sorry to do this but I have to go to bed 
I asked a couple places to see if someoe else can come help
whats ur question again?
27
and where are u at ?
like have u started it and gotten stuck or smthing
cuz it seems u guys started the question
I got confused as to when to implicity differentiate versus explicitly, but I used chat GPT to explain some of it to me. Why don't we start with a new question from scratch instead?

btw
well , first id just rewrite the word problem into equations
and maybe draw a diagram if u want , but not necessary anyway
so it is a right triangle
and we know the bottom side of the triangle is 3m
I'm not too sure how the velocities help for this
not really , its just the distance at that instant , but yeah we will consider its 3m
they are not really velocities , top of the ladder slides down a vertical wall at a rate of .15 can be rewritten as dy/dt = 0.15
cuz our vetical distance (which is usually called y-axis) is changing with respect to time , and thats what derivatives are about
ohhh and dx/dt would be 0.2
so the bottom side of the triangle is x, 3 is just a point for x
and x changes at a rate of 0.2 m/s
no no , thats not what i meant
the bottom of triangle is 3 at the instant when dx/dt = 0.2 , its changing
like after a second , our bottom would be 3+0.2 = 3.2 , and so on
but for now we will consider x = 3 m
and we need to find length of the ladder (which is just the hypotenuse of the triangle basically) , any equation / theorem comes to find that relates all these info?
so we can just call that side h for simplicity
pythagorean theorem
so h^2 = y^2 + x^2
how would you write this in a formula?
dx/dt = 3 + 0.2(t)?
i was just explaining that , x = 3 and dx/dt=0.2 , nothing fancy
cuz we are calculating at the instant x=3 , so we are just neglecting change basically u can say
u can differentaite both sides with t , cuz doing smthing to both sides dont change the equation (most of the time)
have u not done any questions like this in class/lecture??
we did a singular question in class together
and now we have homework on it
quite literally one question we did together
oof
the main thing in these kinda questions is basically , trying to figure out what known equation to use and then u differentiate that
plug in the values and try to find out the unknown

Let $A$ be index set. Suppose $A$ is countable, the product $\sigma$-Algebra $\bigotimes_{\alpha\in A}\mathcal{M}$ is generated by $\mathcal{F}{1}:=\big{\prod{\alpha \in A} E_\alpha:E_\alpha\in \mathcal{M}_{\alpha}\big}$.
However I still find it very struggling understanding this part. Let $\pi:\prod_{a\in A}X_\alpha\to X_\alpha$ be coordinate map, suppose $A$ is uncountable then the product $\sigma$-Algebra $\bigotimes_{\alpha\in A} \mathcal{M}_\alpha$ is generated by $\mathcal{F}_2:=\{\pi_{\alpha}^{-1}(E_\alpha):E_\alpha\in \mathcal{E}_\alpha, \alpha\in A\}$ where $\mathcal{M}_\alpha$ is generated by $\mathcal{E}_\alpha$
I found it really hard understanding, why if the index set $A$ is uncountable, we have to define the product $\sigma$-Algebra with an inverse coordinate map to define this generator $\mathcal{F}_2$, and why it only coincides with $\mathcal{F}_1$ whenever the index set $A$ is countable.
The inverse map $\pi_\alpha^{-1}(E_\alpha)$ essentially will yields $\pi_\alpha^{-1}(E_\alpha)=\prod_{\alpha\in A} E_\alpha$ which is the same hypercube as the usual defined generator for countable case $\big\{\prod_{\alpha\in A} E_\alpha: E_\alpha\in \mathcal{M}_\alpha\big\}$
Maybe, due to lack of example, it made me really confused with this additional layer in definition, making me question why it is needed and why we can't define it without this additional layer of abstraction using coordinate maps. What would happen if I define generator of generating $\sigma$-Algebra to be $\mathcal{F}:=\big\{\prod_{\alpha\in A} E_\alpha: E_\alpha\in \mathcal{M}_\alpha\big\}$ and is it ill-defined? if so why?
Or is there any good examples illustrating why this way of defining product $\sigma$-Algebra is necessary or good examples related to this in general. I am studying Folland's for once more however, reading it the second time, I found the details only more abstract and nuanced or simply hard. Thanks so much in advanced.

What is value of sinA * tanA while 5*cosA-√5 = 0?
ok
find cosA first
then find the possible sinA and tanA using it
cosA can only be in two quadrants (but the same of sinA and tanA are the same so any is fine)
There is no exact triangle
wdym there isnt
or this
[ 5\cos A = \sqrt{5} \implies \cos A = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}]
pytahgorean
\cos(A)
