The maximum amount of profit the carnival makes based on the number of tickets sold is 6.5 thousand of dollars,
<h3>How to determine the difference?</h3>
The function is given as:
f(x) = -0.5x^2 + 5x - 6
Differentiate the function
f'(x) = -x + 5
Set to 0
-x + 5 = 0
Make x the subject
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 in f(x)
f(5) = -0.5 * 5^2 + 5 * 5 - 6
f(5) = 6.5
The table is not given.
Hence, the maximum amount of profit the carnival makes based on the number of tickets sold is 6.5 thousand of dollars,
