Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression can be simplified by applying the a properties of exponents, specifically the Product of powers, which states that:

Where b is the base and a and c are exponents.
Then simplify it by rewriting the base (
) and adding the exponents of the expression (8 and 9).
You will get the expression simplified and written as a power:

<span>N(t) = 16t ; Distance north of spot at time t for the liner.
W(t) = 14(t-1); Distance west of spot at time t for the tanker.
d(t) = sqrt(N(t)^2 + W(t)^2) ; Distance between both ships at time t.
Let's create a function to express the distance north of the spot that the luxury liner is at time t. We will use the value t as representing "the number of hours since 2 p.m." Since the liner was there at exactly 2 p.m. and is traveling 16 kph, the function is
N(t) = 16t
Now let's create the same function for how far west the tanker is from the spot. Since the tanker was there at 3 p.m. (t = 1 by the definition above), the function is slightly more complicated, and is
W(t) = 14(t-1)
The distance between the 2 ships is easy. Just use the pythagorean theorem. So
d(t) = sqrt(N(t)^2 + W(t)^2)
If you want the function for d() to be expanded, just substitute the other functions, so
d(t) = sqrt((16t)^2 + (14(t-1))^2)
d(t) = sqrt(256t^2 + (14t-14)^2)
d(t) = sqrt(256t^2 + (196t^2 - 392t + 196) )
d(t) = sqrt(452t^2 - 392t + 196)</span>
7/x = 5/y
Can be changed to:
5x = 7y
So, x = (7/5)y and
y = (5/7)x
