Problem

A boat starts from the origin (0,0)(0,0) on one bank of a river. The river flows along the positive xx -axis with velocity vr=2 m/sv_{r} = 2\,\text{m/s}. The boat steers strictly along the positive yy -axis (across the river) with velocity vbr=4 m/sv_{br} = 4\,\text{m/s}. Find the equation of the trajectory y(x)y(x) followed by the boat relative to the ground.
