A quadratic function models the profit of the company and the maximum/minimum value of the quadratic function occurs on its vertex. 

The given function is:

P(x)=-3(x-5)^{2}+12

The equation is already in standard form, the vertex of the parabola as seen from the equation is (5,12)

This mean if the company sets the price of socks to $5 they will earn a maximum profit which is $ 12 million

b/9 < 1

To cancel out the fraction, we multiply both sides by 9:

x < 9
