Answer

$$ 2s^{2}+\sqrt {st}-4=3t $$ The velocity $\frac{ds}{dt}$ is given by: \begin{aligned} \frac{d s}{d t}=\frac{-s+6 \sqrt{s t}}{8 s \sqrt{s t}+t} \end{aligned}

Work Step by Step

$$ 2s^{2}+\sqrt {st}-4=3t $$ Now, we can calculate the velocity $\frac{ds}{dt}$ by implicit differentiation, use the product rule as follows: $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{d }{d t}(2s^{2}+\sqrt {st}-4 )&=\frac{d}{d t}(3t) \\ 4s \frac{d s}{d t}+\frac{1}{2}(s t)^{-1 / 2}\left(s+t \frac{d s}{d t}\right) &=3\\ 4 s \frac{d s}{d t}+\frac{s+t \frac{d s}{d t}}{2 \sqrt{s t}}&=3 \\ \frac{8 s(\sqrt{s t}) \frac{d s}{d t}+s+t \frac{d s}{d t}}{2 \sqrt{s t}}&=3\\ \frac{(8 s \sqrt{s t}+t) \frac{d s}{d t}+s}{2 \sqrt{s t}}&=3\\ (8 s \sqrt{s t}+t) \frac{d s}{d t}=6 \sqrt{s t}-s \\ \frac{d s}{d t}=\frac{-s+6 \sqrt{s t}}{8 s \sqrt{s t}+t}. \end{aligned} $$
