No, the range of a quadratic function is not all real numbers. A quadratic function, typically in the form ( f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c ), has a parabolic shape. If the coefficient ( a ) is positive, the range is all real numbers greater than or equal to the minimum point (the vertex), while if ( a ) is negative, the range is all real numbers less than or equal to the maximum point. Thus, the range is limited to values above or below a certain point, depending on the direction of the parabola.

The domain and range can be the whole of the real numbers, or some subsets of these sets.
A quadratic equation can have either two real solutions or no real solutions.
If the discriminant of b2-4ac in the quadratic equation formula is less than zero then the equation will have no real roots.
The question is based on the false assumption that the quadratic formula is not used in daily life. Wrong, it IS!
As you probably suspect, there are no non-mathematical situations in which you would use the quadratic formula.
