Question
## Exponential Growth Comparison of Bacterial Species

**Fill in the Blanks**

Type your answers in all of the blanks and submit.

Consider two species of bacteria, A and B, with the same initial population. The species grow exponentially with growth rates \( r_A = 0.05 \) for species A and \( r_B = -0.025 \) for species B. Will the two species of bacteria ever have the same size?

\[ \text{Type your answer here} \] (Enter YES or NO)

The time at which they reach the same size is \( t = \)

\[ \text{Type your answer here} \] (Enter -1000 if their size is never equal)
