SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the volume between the cone defined by the equation x = √(y² + z²) and the sphere given by x² + y² + z² = 196. The user correctly identifies that the cone's equation simplifies to x² = y² + z², leading to the conclusion that 2x² = 196 results in x² = 98. The next steps involve determining the limits of integration and setting up the appropriate volume integral in cylindrical coordinates.
