what does factoring a quadratic equation has to do with determining the path of a projectile?
Factoring a quadratic equation gives you a lot of information involving the path of a projectile. Factoring a quadratic equation gives you the vertex of your projectiles path. This tells you the projectiles highest point which is very important information when analyzing a projectiles path and can be found by factoring the quadratic equation of the projectiles path -

quadratic formula
The quadratic formula tells you many things. Though the quadratic formula takes more time and at times can be much more difficult than factoring, the quadratic formula can tell you many things. For example the quadratic formula tells you your x-interceps, zeros, and where your projectile hits ground -
Projectile Formulas
In order to find out a projectiles distance traveled horizontally and vertically we had to use the quadratic equation and the equation for forward velocity, 700cos(your degrees of launch) then we could use the outcome of that equation and plug it in to find the projectiles vertical distance traveled by taking the outcome of the quadratic formula times the forward velocity. -
