This is a quadratic function given that the degree of exponent is 2. It is represented by a parabolic shape facing upwards, and shifted 9 units up, given the number + 9 in the equation, when it is plotted in the graph. It is a universal rule that a quadratic function will yield a parabolic shape when plotted, and it's position may change depending on the numerical terms in the equation.
