But after all these, what is the purpose?
This is the question many students of maths studies ask.
Do we need this "quadratic" knowledge in working life?
The communication dish is parabolic in shape. Parabolic is the equivalent to quadratic mathematically. Engineers need to understand quadratic equation to design this beautiful profile.
the pan is a wok that is designed using quadratic expression. With this, food can be fried to our liking!
Without quadratic equation, who knows how a wok would look like.
eye-glass lens are constructed with curves matching that of the quadratic equation.
Light is thus controlled to give good image to our eyes.
Quadratic equations to the rescue, right?
Other examples
are:
1) Distance travelled given by the quadratic equation s = ut + (1/2) a t2
2) Electrical characteristics of a MOSFET (Transistor device)
i = k [(Vg - Vt)VD - (1/2)Vd2]
So now do you still wonder why you study quadratic equations?
with out math these things wouldn't have existed then their would be no dish that will connect us to channels all over the world or like food how can we eat without a pan or even lenses, we all study math for a purpose and it's not just to pass an exam, it's to know more knowledge about whats around us
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.
Do you mean the quadratic formula? Not much; this would be more likely to be used by a scientist or engineer.
The question is based on the false assumption that the quadratic formula is not used in daily life. Wrong, it IS!
A quadratic function will have a degree of two.
A quadratic function is a second degree polynomial, that is, is involves something raised to the power of 2, also know as squaring. Quadratus is Latin for square. Hence Quadratic.

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.

Quadratic functions are used to describe free fall.
A quadratic function is a noun. The plural form would be quadratic functions.

it is a vertices's form of a function known as Quadratic
the graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. hope this helps xP

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.
