St. Louis Arch is an example of a quadratic graph.
Umm... many arches are actually *catenaries*, visually indistinguishable from a parabola - this answer should be checked for accuracy.
Yes. And the question is ...
That the function is a quadratic expression.
A translation.
When the graph of a quadratic crosses the x-axis twice it means that the quadratic has two real roots. If the graph touches the x-axis at one point the quadratic has 1 repeated root. If the graph does not touch nor cross the x-axis, then the quadratic has no real roots, but it does have 2 complex roots.

the graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. hope this helps xP
The zeros of a quadratic function, if they exist, are the values of the variable at which the graph crosses the horizontal axis.
Yes. And the question is ...
The parabola
Some do and some don't. It's possible but not necessary.
The real solutions are the points at which the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. If the graph never crosses the x-axis, then the solutions are imaginary.
Yes.

Changing the constant in a function will shift the graph vertically but will not change the shape of the graph. For example, in a linear function, changing the constant term will only move the line up or down. In a quadratic function, changing the constant term will shift the parabola up or down.
No. It can also be a circle, ellipse or hyperbola.
