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 is because the trajectory of a kicked ball typically follows a parabolic path, which can be modeled by a quadratic equation. The other scenarios involve linear growth or exponential growth, which do not require quadratic equations.
