SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on finding the differential coefficient of the function \( y = \sqrt{2} \sin(x) + 4x^5 - \frac{3}{x^4} \). Participants confirm the expression and request solutions to the problem. Additionally, there is a mention of another calculus problem involving the derivative of \( y = (3x^2 + 1)(x^2 + 2x) \). The conversation emphasizes the importance of posting calculus-related queries in the appropriate forum for better assistance.
