The function that models the profit of the company in million of dollars is:

P= x^{2} -6x+12

where x represents the number of years since the company started. We want to find when the profit of the company was $4 million. Setting P as 4 in above equation, we can find the value of x when the profit was $4 million.

4= x^{2} -6x+12 \\  \\ 
 x^{2} -6x+8=0 \\  \\ 
 x^{2} -2x-4x+8=0 \\  \\ 
x(x-2)-4(x-2)=0 \\  \\ 
(x-2)(x-4)=0 \\  \\ 
x=2, x=4

Thus, we can conclude that the profit of the company was $4 million in 2nd and 4th year
