Frozen time equilibria are not solutions of nonautonomous system

I am reading the following textbook:



Introduction to Applied Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and Chaos by Wiggins
p.6 (top)



Suppose we have $$dot{x} = f(x,t), xin mathbb{R}^n $$



By implicit function theorem, if we can find $(bar{x},bar{t})$ such that $f(bar{x},bar{t})=0$ and $D_xf(bar{x},bar{t})neq 0$, then we can find $bar{x}(t)$, with $bar{x}(bar{t})=bar{x}$ such that $f(bar{x}(t),t)=0$.




If $bar{x}(t)$ is a solution of the nonautonomous vector field, then it must be constant in time, i.e., $dot{bar{x}}(t)=0$.




Why this is the case? I am confused about it.

    The implicit function theorem guarantees the existence of a $C^1$ function $bar{x}colon(bar{t}-epsilon,bar{t}+epsilon)tomathbb{R}^n$ such that $f(bar{x}(t),t)=0$ for all $tin(bar{t}-epsilon,bar{t}+epsilon)$. But that $bar{x}$ being a solution means that $dot{bar{x}}(t)=f(bar{x}(t),t)$, which is equal to $0$ by the above reasoning. Consequently, $bar{x}$ must be constant, at least on $(bar{t}-epsilon,bar{t}+epsilon)$.
