When Will We Ever Use This Quadratic Stuff?

Believe it or not, some people use quadratic equations to solve real life problems. If a gymnast throws something into the air, the ribbon or ball's path will follow a parabolic path, and you can determine how high the object travels in the air. You can also determine how long it will take you to hit the water if you are jumping off a cliff. Read the examples in lessons 10.4 and 10.6 for a better understanding of how these work.
