two kinds of bacteria are found in a sample of tainted food. it is found that the population size of type 1, N1 and of type 2, N2 satisfy the equation dn/dt=-0.3/N1 dn/dt=0.4/N2 N1 is equal to 1500 at time equal to zero, while N2 is equal to 30 at time equal to zero. then the population sizes are equal N1 = N2 at what time?
