A company's main source of income is selling socks. The company's annual profit as a function of the price per pair of socks is modeled by: P(x)=-3(x-5)2+12. This is the sock price the company should set to earn a maximum profit. And what would the maximum profit be?
This means if the company sets the price of the socks to $5 they will earn a maximum profit which is $12 million
How is the standard form of a quadratic function different from the vertex form?
The standard form of a quadratic function tells you the y-intercept, while vertex for of a quadratic function tells you the vertex.
