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.

School is part of real life... if you are using equations in school that is real.


Give some examples where Quadratic equations is used in daily life?

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.


What are the different uses of quadratic equations in science technology and real life?

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.

How are quadratic equations used in real life?

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.


Why do you use square roots to solve quadratic equations?

Because it's part of the quadratic equation formula in finding the roots of a quadratic equation.
