The answer is b. 200

<span>If y varies inversely as x, then: y = c/x

We know:
y = 40
x = 5

y = c/x
c = y * x
c = 40 * 5
c = 200</span>

Answer:

b. 200

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that y varies inversely as x.

Since we know that equation that represents the inversely proportional relation between y and x is:y=\frac{k}{x}, where,

k= Constant of proportionality.

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

40=\frac{k}{5}

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 5.

40\times 5=\frac{k}{5}\times 5

200=k

Therefore, constant of proportionality for our given quantities is 200 and option b is the correct choice.

Compare and contrast the absolute value of a real number to that of a complex number.
sveticcg [70]
The absolute value of a real number is a positive value of the number. Which means that the absolute value is the distance from zero of the number line. However, that of the complex numbers is the distance from the origin to the point in a complex plane.
