when you say graph, you mean plot, on graph paper?

If so, pick values of x...your choice. Pick some easy ones like 0,1,2,3,4. Possibly -1,-2,-3 -4 too. For each, put it into the equation and find the value of f(x) ie "y".

Hopefully you will have picked enough x-values that your graph will cover the "interesting" part of the curve, namely the place it turns.

So...give it a go :-)
