Answer:

  x = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant relations are ...

  • base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent
  • consecutive interior angles where parallel lines meet a transversal are supplementary

__

Triangle OBQ is isosceles, so angle OQB = 40°. Triangle OPQ is isosceles, so angle OQP is x. The sum of angles OQB and OQP is angle BQP, which is supplementary to angle OPQ. That is, ...

  (40° +x) +x = 180°

  2x = 140° . . . . . . subtract 40°

  x = 70° . . . . . . divide by 2

_____

There are many ways to find x. The one shown here is just one of them. In general, right triangles, isosceles triangles, symmetry, inscribed angles can all be used to write relations involving the known angles and x.

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,
