If \( y \) varies inversely as \( x \) and \( y = 2 \) when \( x = 25 \), find \( x \) when \( y = 40 \).

Ok, since y varies inversely as x , the equation is y=k/x....... Then you plug in 2 for y and 25 for x to find K....... After that you get K= 50...... Then plug in 50 for K and 40 for y then solve for x....... After that you get X= 1.25!!!!! :)

The constant k in the inverse variation equation is 50, determined by the given values y=2 and x=25. Using this constant, when y is 40 , x is found to be** 1.25.** ;

When y varies inversely with x , the constant k is found to be 50. Thus, when y = 40 , the value of x is 1.25.
