The scenario that would use a quadratic equation to solve is:
A coach models the trajectory of a ball to find out how high the player is kicking the ball.
This scenario involves both time and height in a way that forms a parabolic trajectory, which is characteristic of quadratic equations. The other scenarios involve linear or exponential growth rather than quadratic relationships.
