Write an equation that relates the variables. n varies inversely as the  ffth power \text { ffth power } ffth power  of m

A) n=5 kmn = 5 \mathrm {~km}n=5 km
B) n=kmn = \frac { k } { m }n=mk
C) n=km5n = \frac { k m } { 5 }n=5km
D) n=km5n = k m ^ { 5 }n=km5
E) n=km5n = \frac { k } { m ^ { 5 } }n=m5k

Inversely

In an opposite or reverse manner, often referring to the relationship where as one variable increases, another decreases.

Fifth Power

A number or variable raised to the exponent of five, indicating it is multiplied by itself four times.

  • Ascertain the correlation between variables from a verbal description indicating their direct or inverse relationship.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
When two variables vary inversely, their product is constant. Here, we are given that n varies inversely as the fifth power of m. Therefore, we can write:
n*m^5 = k
where k is the constant of variation. Solving for n, we get:
n = k/m^5
which is the same as option E.
