Basically, we use mathematics in 'real life' to make real life more understandable. To this, we would use quadratic equations to model processes that (at least to a certain degree) resemble reality. One such example of a quadratic equation is v^2 = u^2 + 2as. This formula determines the final speed that you are going based on a constant acceleration. The reason we are able to use a quadratic equation here is because the cars force is relatively constant, and F=ma so the acceleration is constant. However, because drag has a large impact on forces at high speeds, this equation is not suitable for those speeds. For interest's sake, the drag formula states that Force is proportional to velocity^3.
Engineers and mathematicians apply the simplifying of all manner of equations every day in the course of their work. Scientists in several fields may be required to do the same in the course of a particular project or problem.
The question is based on the false assumption that the quadratic formula is not used in daily life. Wrong, it IS!
The set of all real numbers. Or all complex numbers, depending what you decide to use as your basic set.

School is part of real life... if you are using equations in school that is real.
Quadratic equations can be used in solving problems where the formula is given, falling object problems and problems involving geometric shapes.All types of engineering professions use the quadratic formula since it applies to ordinary differential equations.
Quadratic equations can be used in many real world situations, particularly in the fields of business, engineering, and science. They can be used to help predict how much a business will earn or lose and thus allow that business to figure out how to maximize its profit. Kayakers also use these equations to determinate their speed while traveling up or down a river.

Many real life physics problems are parabolic in nature. Parabolas can be shown as a quadratic equation. If you have two variables then usually you can use the equation to find the best solution to a problem. Also, it is a beginning in the world of mathematical optimization. Some equations use more than two variables and require the technique used to solve quadratics to solve them. I just ran an optimization of 128 variables. To understand the parameters I needed to set I had to understand quadratics.
As you probably suspect, there are no non-mathematical situations in which you would use the quadratic formula.
