The city of Varad is selling tickets to their annual festival. Based on data from previous
years, the committee in charge of planning for the festival have determined that when p dollars
are charged for a ticket, the city's revenue from ticket sales is R (p) = -0.5p² + 10p thousand
dollars, 0≤ p ≤ 20. R(p) is graphed below.
