Let's say that you bought a new deer rifle with a scope. You need to compute, for every distance, the compensation that you need to make to compensate for bullet drop as it falls down during the flight. In the first approximation of this, the bullet follows a parabola (not quite precisely true, but it is a good start). Hence you need to solve a quadratic equation.
