A particle of mass m moves along the x-axis so that its position x and velocity v

Question:

A particle of mass m moves along the x-axis so that its position x and velocity v = dx/dt satisfy
m(v2 - v20) = k(x20 - x2)
where v0, x0, and k are constants. Show by implicit differentiation that
m dv/dt = - kx
whenever v ≠ 0.
