“I cannot answer for them
what they are going to do
with the quadratic equation.
I don’t know why they are
learning it.”
If Mr Rochelle cannot answer this question, and recommends just googling it, he might not be a good person to be anywhere near STEM eduction.

The teacher might be saying they don't know in that context and would rather not lie to individual students that it's super important for them in particular way.
