This discussion focuses on differentiating two mathematical functions: i) \( x = 3t^3 + 6\sqrt{t} + \frac{3}{t^2} \) and ii) \( y = 3\sin(2x) + 5\cos(4x) \). The derivative rules applied include the constant multiple rule and the power rule. The derivatives calculated are \( \frac{dx}{dt} = 9t^2 + \frac{3}{2\sqrt{t}} - \frac{6}{t^3} \) for the first function and \( \frac{dy}{dx} = 6\cos(2x) - 20\sin(4x) \) for the second function. These calculations illustrate fundamental principles of calculus.
