Answer

$s'=3cot^2(\dfrac{2}{t})\csc^2(\dfrac{2}{t})\dfrac{2}{t^2}$

Work Step by Step

Given that $s=cot^3(\dfrac{2}{t})$ Re-write the given equation as:$s=cot^3(2t^{-1})$ Apply derivative rules of differentiation: $f(x)=p'(x)q(x)+p(x)q'(x)$ $y'=\dfrac{d}{dx}[cot^3(2t^{-1})]$ $=3 cot^2(2t^{-1})(-csc^2(2t^{-1}))\dfrac{d}{dx}(2t^{-1})$ Hence, $s'=3cot^2(\dfrac{2}{t})\csc^2(\dfrac{2}{t})\dfrac{2}{t^2}$
