Answer:

-25  

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)   y = -2x²

(2) y =   2x² + k     Subtract (1) from (2)

    0 =  4x² + k      Subtract 4x² from each side

    k = -4x²

The parabolas are <em>symmetrical about the y-axis.</em>

Segment AB = 5, so x = +2.5 and x = +2.5.

k = -4(±2.5)² = -4 × 6.25 = -25

You are wearing a pair of cargo pants with six pockets. You've put $10 in one of the pockets, but you cannot remember which one.
Over [174]
There are 6 pockets all together.  You checked two of them and it wasn't
there.  So you can forget about those 2, and now there are 4 pockets left.

The total number of ways for your next try is 4.
The number that will be successful is 1.

The probability of success on the next one is  <em>1/4  =  25% .</em>

=======================================================

Another method of solution, somewhat more complex:

Total number of pockets = 6.
Amount of money missing = $10
First partial sum, i.e. sum of numbers
 in the first part of the problem = 6 + 10  =  16.

Total number of pockets  =  6
Current value of cargo pants on a fashion scale from 1 to 10  =  -2.
Second partial sum =  6 - 2  =  4.

  Probability = (second partial sum) / (first partial sum) = 4/16  =  <em>25% </em>.

The Washer family spent $15.80 each week for milk until the milk prices rose 5% in their town How much do they spend weekly on m
Law Incorporation [45]
15.80 * 1.05 should give you the answer

A method to solve it would be would be:
First converting 5% to a decimal then multiplying that by 15.80 in order the find 5 percent of 15.80...Afterwards you have to add that value to the original 15.80 ..And you should end up with the same answer.
