This is a happy parabola. The k doesn’t matter (to get to the answer). Plug in the 10 for t and find that the number of bees in 10 days is -150!. (Doesn’t make much sense - that’s what the k is for). That’s really one half of the parabola. There’s a match on the other half - it can be found by setting -150 equal to .5t^2 - 20t (remember - we’re disregarding the k). From here, you will find that -150 bees (are present?) on the 10th and 30th days.
