Quadratic equations find their application in various real-world scenarios such as: sports, bridges, projectile motion, the curvature of bananas, and so on.

Here are three images representing real-world instances of quadratics:

Example 1: A cyclist travels along a parabolic trajectory to leap over obstacles.

Example 2: A person throws a basketball towards the hoop, moving in a gently upward path described by a quadratic curve.

Example 3: A football player kicks the ball upward, which follows a quadratic path as it travels a distance.
