Species X has an initial population of 5050 individuals and grows continuously at rate 0.07 day−10.07\text{ day}^{-1}. Species Y starts with 200200 individuals but declines continuously at rate 0.03 day−10.03\text{ day}^{-1}. The two populations are equal at time t0t_0. Ten days after t0t_0, what is the approximate ratio population of Xpopulation of Y\dfrac{\text{population of X}}{\text{population of Y}}? a) 2.022.02 b) 2.722.72 c) 1.491.49 d) 2.432.43
