Answer

$\frac{ds}{dt}={\frac{{-1}}{2\sqrt{t}}{(\sqrt{t}-1)}^{-2}}$

Work Step by Step

Given $s=\frac{1}{(\sqrt{t}-1)}$ $s={(\sqrt{t}-1)}^{-1}$ on differentiating both sides: $\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{d({(\sqrt{t}-1)}^{-1})}{dt}$ $\frac{ds}{dt}={-1}{(\sqrt{t}-1)}^{-2}{\frac{d({(\sqrt{t}-1)})}{dt}}$ $\frac{ds}{dt}={-1}{(\sqrt{t}-1)}^{-2}{\frac{{1}}{2\sqrt{t}}}$ $\frac{ds}{dt}={\frac{{-1}}{2\sqrt{t}}{(\sqrt{t}-1)}^{-2}}$
