What is the formula to find the axis of symmetry from standard form?
AND

A certain company's main source of income is a mobile app.
The company's annual profit (in millions of dollars) as a function of the app's price (in dollars) is modeled by
P(x)= -2(x - 3)(x - 11)
What would be the company's profit if the app price is 0 dollars?
What is -66 million dollars?
The will lose money if they give the app away for free.
