9. In a container, there are two types of bacteria, A and B. At any time, the product of the number of bacteria A and B is a constant $10 ^ { 10 }$. For simplicity, scientists use $P _ { A } = \log \left( n _ { A } \right)$ to record data about the number of bacteria A, where $n _ { A }$ is the number of bacteria A. Which of the following statements are correct?
