As you probably suspect, there are no non-mathematical situations in which you would use the quadratic formula.

What is the use of quadratic formula if it is not used into real life?

The question is based on the false assumption that the quadratic formula is not used in daily life. Wrong, it IS!


Real life application of a quadratic function?

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.


What are the pros and cons of the quadratic equation?

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.

When can you use quadratic equations in real life?

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.


When will you apply surds in real life?
