y = ax2 + c is a parabola, c is the y intercept of the parabola. It also happens to be the max/min of the function depending if a is positive or negative.

When you graph a quadratic function what will the shape of the graph be?
A parabola. An arch opening either north or south of the x-axis depending on the sign of the coefficient (negative opens down, positive opens up).
If a quadratic makes a parabola what is the name of the shape produced by a cubic function?

What different information do you get from vertex form and quadratic equation in standard form?
The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.
What name is given to the shape of a quadratic function?
A parabola
If a quadratic makes a parabola what is the name of the shape produced by a cubic function?
A cubic.
How is the St. Louis Arch an example of a Quadratic Function?
The St. Louis Arch is in the shape of a hyperbolic cosine function It is often thought that it is in the shape of a parabola, which would have a quadratic function of y = a(x-h)^2 + k, where the vertex is h, k.
In addition to moving the graph of a function around the Cartesian coordinate system what can you also change on the graph?

Why is it better to have the quadratic function in vertex form instead of standard form?
If you want to graph the function, it is quite easy: y=a(x-h)2-k . . . you can plot the vertex (h,k); the 'a' tells you how wide or narrow the u-shape is, and whether it opens up or down.
