the traditional theory explains cost curve u shape, but in modern theory says that cost curve L shape
as the total average cost is U shape the MC will intersect with U shape at lowest point to indicate the break even point where the company does not make neither profit nor loss. and this minimum point is known as the efficient scale that minimize the losses but does not maximize profit
the average variable cost curve and average cost curve are u- shaped because of the law of variable proportions.
Marginal cost curve is u-shaped curve, this is due to law of variable proportion(return to factors), firstly, there is an increasing return (i.e, decreasing cost) then there is a stage of constant returns (i.e, constant cost) then lastly comes the stage of decreasing returns (i.e increasing cost), that`s why marginal cost curve first slopes downward and then slope upward and become u-shaped.
In long run non of the factors are fixed,long run average cost is the locus of envelope point of various SATC's. The operation of law of returns to scale is major reason for the U shaped of LAC.
The learning curve is reverse 'J' shaped. Its shape indicates that the cost of production rises with rise in quantity produced but to an extent. After that point it stops increasing. It happens because the management or the production department learns to control the cost of production from past mistakes or experience or by reffering previous data. so, the learning to control the cost has named this curve as learning curve. when the cost stops rising and it stabilises then the curve becomes a straight line acordingly.....and it forms the shape of reverse 'J'.

In general, a firm's production costs are directly related to the shape of its long-run average cost curve. As production costs decrease, the long-run average cost curve tends to slope downwards, indicating economies of scale. Conversely, as production costs increase, the curve may slope upwards, indicating diseconomies of scale. Ultimately, the shape of the long-run average cost curve reflects how efficiently a firm can produce goods or services at different levels of output.
When average total cost curve is falling it is necessarily above the marginal cost curve. If the average total cost curve is rising, it is necessarily below the marginal cost curve.

A Cooling curve graph changes shape.
The average cost curve shows the average cost per unit of production for a firm. It is derived from the total cost curve, which represents the total cost of production at different levels of output. The average cost curve is U-shaped, indicating that as production increases, average costs initially decrease due to economies of scale, then increase due to diminishing returns. The relationship between the average cost curve and production costs is that the average cost curve reflects how efficiently a firm is producing goods or services in relation to its total costs.
