I've used the quadratic formula in tuning software in High Performance automobiles. I had to input data into excel, then the program shot out the values in the quad for the tuning software to decipher what the voltage values of the input corresponded to AFR value (the values I put in). It was quite accurate.
That's the only cool and practical application I have found so far in my line of work.
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.

Chemist use the quadratic equation all the time to find concentrations in equilibrium reactions.Mechanics in physics, kinematics to be precise, use this formula to find position, time velocity or acceleration of moving objects.X = Vot + 1/2at2--------------------------------a quadratic formula
Use the quadratic formula, with a = 1, b = -10, c = 29.Use the quadratic formula, with a = 1, b = -10, c = 29.Use the quadratic formula, with a = 1, b = -10, c = 29.Use the quadratic formula, with a = 1, b = -10, c = 29.

you use the quadratic formula in math when the quadratic equation you are solving cannot be factored.

To find the roots (solutions) of a quadratic equation.
Well, if the given quadratic equation cannot be factored, nor completed by the square, try using the quadratic formula.
quadratic formula
I suggest you use the quadratic formula.
Simply learn and use the quadratic equation formula.
By using the quadratic equation formula or by completing the square
