Among the scenarios provided, the one that typically involves a quadratic equation to solve for height or trajectory is:
**"A coach models the trajectory of a ball to find how high the player is kicking the ball."**
Trajectory problems often involve quadratic functions since the motion of the ball can be modeled using the physics of projectile motion, which follows a parabolic path due to the influence of gravity. The other scenarios involve either exponential growth (savings account doubling) or linear growth (adding quarters to a piggy bank or the constant rise of a balloon).
