Answer

$$ s^{3}-4st+2t^{3}-5t=0 $$ The velocity $\frac{ds}{dt}$ is given by: $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{d s}{d t} &=\frac{4 s-6 t^{2}+5}{3 s^{2}-4 t} \end{aligned} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ s^{3}-4st+2t^{3}-5t=0 $$ Now, we can calculate the velocity $\frac{ds}{dt}$ by implicit differentiation, use the product rule as follows: $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{d }{d t}( s^{3}-4 s t+2 t^{3}-5 t)&=\frac{d}{d t}(0) \\ 3 s^{2} \frac{d s}{d t}-\left(4 t \frac{d s}{d t}+4 s\right)+6 t^{2}-5 &=0 \\ 3 s^{2} \frac{d s}{d t}-4 t \frac{d s}{d t}-4 s+6 t^{2}-5=0 \\ \frac{d s}{d t}\left(3 s^{2}-4 t\right) &=4 s-6 t^{2}+5 \\ \frac{d s}{d t} &=\frac{4 s-6 t^{2}+5}{3 s^{2}-4 t} \end{aligned} $$
