Start with the given function.


Plug in . In other words, replace each x with -2.


Evaluate to get 4.


Multiply -1 and -2 to get 2


Now combine like terms


-----------Now let's evaluate another value---------


Start with the given function.


Plug in . In other words, replace each x with -1.


Evaluate to get 1.


Multiply -1 and -1 to get 1


Now combine like terms


-----------Now let's evaluate another value---------


Start with the given function.

Now combine like terms




Now lets make a table of the values we have calculated
xy
-24
-10
0-2
1-2
20
34
Now plot the points



Now connect the points to graph (note: the more points you plot, the easier it is to draw the graph)
