SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on simplifying the derivative of the equation $$\dfrac{12x\sqrt{2x^3+3x+2}-\frac{\left(6x^2+3\right)^2}{2\sqrt{2x^3+3x+2}}}{2\left(2x^3+3x+2\right)}$$ to $$\frac{12x^4+36x^2+48x-9}{4\left(2x^3+3x+2\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$. The simplification process involves multiplying by $$\frac{2\sqrt{2x^3+3x+2}}{2\sqrt{2x^3+3x+2}}$$ and applying the FOIL method to combine like terms. The final result confirms the accuracy of the simplification steps taken.
