How about the distance travelled when you are accelerating at a constant rate? eg falling under the influence of gravity?
The quadratic equation has many application related to resolving and modelling daily life problems. two examples are in archery and rifle sports. The trajectory of the projectile can follow a ballistic arc. The arc itself can be explained and graphically illustrated by the quadratic equation.
Anything involving a square law automatically invokes a quadratic function by definition, even if the equations is as simple as y = x^2, such as the area of a square (hence the names). At a more advanced level, quadratic and higher-order functions crop up in all manner of real-life science and engineering problems.
Convention says that they are quoted as being equal to zero. It makes life FAR easier that way.
Quadratic equations can be used in various real-life situations, such as in physics to model projectile motion, where the path of an object can be represented by a quadratic function. They are also useful in business for maximizing profit or minimizing costs, by determining optimal production levels. Additionally, quadratic equations can help in designing structures, like parabolic arches, ensuring stability and aesthetic appeal. Overall, they provide insights into relationships and trends in diverse fields.
The question is based on the false assumption that the quadratic formula is not used in daily life. Wrong, it IS!
Quadratic functions are used to describe free fall.
Pros: There are many real life situations in which the relationship between two variables is quadratic rather than linear. So to solve these situations quadratic equations are necessary. There is a simple equation to solve any quadratic equation. Cons: Pupils who are still studying basic mathematics will not be told how to solve quadratic equations in some circumstances - when the solutions lie in the Complex field.
Using your ICE table in doing equilibrium calculations of concentrations in chemistry yields a quadratic function. X = Vot +(1/2)at2 is an equation of kinematics in physics.
I think its the dropping of a golf ball off a building! This is because the formula for velocity when something is dropped is a quadratic formula, that is of degree 2.

When you are trying to find the unknown concentrations in equilibrium reaction ( chemistry ) the result if the ICE table set up devolves into a quadratic equation. Happens in physics to.
St. Louis Arch is an example of a quadratic graph. Umm... many arches are actually *catenaries*, visually indistinguishable from a parabola - this answer should be checked for accuracy.

Life imitates art.
In life science, form refers to the physical structure or characteristics of an organism, while function refers to the specific role or purpose that a structure or characteristic serves in the organism's survival or reproduction. Understanding the relationship between form and function is essential for studying how organisms have evolved to adapt to their environments.
