The values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
The given proportions are.....
and 
From the second proportion, we will get....
Now, we will plug this 
into the first proportion. So we will get....
So, the values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.
Answer:
I agree that this question can be confusing:
Apparently point A and point B must be on the same straight line (measured from the light house or the question would be nonsensical)
tan 13 = H / DA where H is height of lighthouse
tan 8 = H / DB tangent measured from point B
tan 13 / tan 8 = DB / DA
DB = .2309 / .1405 * 1279 = 2101 ft
DB - DA = 2101 - 1279 = 822.0 ft

2x^2y(y^3-5)+14(y^3-5)
(2x^2y)+14(y^3-5)
2(x^2y+7)(y^3-5)
x^2y+7 Is a factor
