Overview

Applications of Quadratic Equations

What You'll Learn

Quadratic equations model situations where one quantity depends on the square of another, like time and height or side length and area

Setting up the equation correctly from the words is usually harder than solving it

Always check solutions against the real-world context, since negative time or negative length is usually not valid

The same quadratic can often be solved by factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula, depending on how it looks

Common application types include projectile motion, area and dimension problems, consecutive number problems, and revenue or profit problems

What You'll Practice

Solving number and reciprocal word problems

Finding dimensions of rectangles and triangles given area constraints

Calculating speeds in distance-rate-time scenarios with constraints

Working with upstream/downstream current problems
