defining a quadratic function in terms of a, b, and c is sufficient because that is standard form and also it would be confusing tring to teach others while using different variables every time... don't you think?
and also there is not only quadratic functions, but that system does continue on to...
quartic..
quintic..simpily, there are many ways of defining functions (polynomials) with degrees and # of terms..(monomial, binomial, trinomial, and polynomial...)
