Tractrix A motorboat starts at the origin and moves in the direction of the positive x-axis, pulling a waterskier along a curve C called a tractrix. See FIGURE 1.3.21. The waterskier, initially located on the y-axis at the point (0, s), is pulled by keeping a rope of constant length s, which is kept taut throughout the motion. At time t > 0 the waterskier is at the point P(x, y). Find the differential equation of the path of motion C.
