DID SOMEONE SAY QUADRATICS? Did someone say Quadratics? It is everywhere! It is so incredibly common that you cannot even guess! Did you know that you use quadratics when you are playing ball? I am afraid you did not. Imagine that you are playing basketball and you are trying to shoot a basket. So, you would most probably try to figure out where the basketball ring and throw the ball. That is actually a use of quadratics in daily life. Imagine a couple of years from now. Assume that you became an economist and you are dealing with profit and loss thing. Can you believe that you need to use quadratics? Quadratics is highly required when calculating profit. As I said, Quadratics is everywhere just like Physics. Physics is everything so, they have some common points. Quadratic equations are used in order to find out the resistance shown by the parallel resistors. The quadratic equation is used when calculating the position of the ball you have thrown. Furthermore, the golden ratio is found as a result of a quadratic equation. The formula for resistance in parallel circuit Parallel resistors Bibliography: http://classroom.synonym.com/everyday-examplessituations-apply-quadratic-equations-10200.html https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/quadraticequation-real-world.html http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/HistTopics/ Quadratic_etc_equations.html Elsu Doğa İNCESU 10-A 32 THE CLAPPER 2015 - 2016
