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 the motion of the ball, which follows a parabolic path due to gravity, and can be described using a quadratic equation. The other scenarios either involve linear growth or exponential growth, which do not require quadratic equations.
