Factoring a quadratic equation determines the path of a projectile. It shows its start and finish. In the picture it shows a graph of a projectile launch and the starting and ending points of the x intercepts. This is crucial information for when you want to know the speed after you find the height.

The bigger the angle, the higher the projectile but also the shorter the distance. Also the smaller the angle, the lower the projectile but also the further the distance.
