A particle moves so its coordinates satisfy x(t)y(t)+δx(t)=tx(t)y(t)+\delta x(t)=t, where δ\delta is a constant drift parameter. The position vector is r⃗(t)=⟨x(t),y(t)⟩\vec r(t)=\langle x(t),y(t)\rangle, and the constraint models motion along a time-dependent track. You want the vertical velocity component y′(t)y'(t) without solving for yy. Assume x(t)≠0x(t)\neq 0. Using the information provided, differentiate implicitly with respect to tt and solve for y′(t)y'(t).
