Problem 54
In an inverse variation, the product \(x y\) is constant. If \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)\) and \(\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)\) are solutions of \(x y=k,\) then \(x_{1} y_{1}=x_{2} y_{2} .\) Use this equation to find the missing value. Find \(x_{2}\) when \(x_{1}=9, y_{1}=-3,\) and \(y_{2}=12\).

Suppose you are 14 years old and your brother is 4 years old. a. In \(t\) years, your age will be \(14+t\). What will your brother's age be? b. Write the ratio of your age in \(t\) years to your brother's age in \(t\) years. Then use long division to rewrite this ratio. c. Use the rewritten ratio to find the ratio of your ages now, in 5 years, in 10 years, in 25 years, in 50 years, and in 80 years. d. Use your answers to part (c). Is the ratio of your ages getting smaller or larger as time goes by? What value do the ratios approach? e. Writing Look at the original form of the ratio and the rewritten form of the ratio. Which form of the ratio makes it easier for you to recognize the trend that you described in part (d)? Explain your choice.
