can someone please help !! ill give medals!

You have learned a few practical situations that can be modeled by quadratic functions. In this discussion, explore practical applications of quadratic functions. Who uses them? Do they occur in nature? Are they useful in industry? Don't limit yourself to these questions; any reasonable exploration of the practical side of quadratic functions will do. Take the discussion further or in different directions than it has already gone.
