You can put this solution on YOUR website!
graph the function
y=f(x)=x^2
----------------
Whenever you are given a rule, you can obtain a graph
by plotting points.
------------------
If x = -2, y = (-2)^2 = 4 giving you point (-2,4)
If x = -1, y = (-1)^2 = 1 giving you point (-1,1)
If x = 0 , y = 0^2 = 0 giving you point (0,0)
If x = 1, y = 1^2 = 1 giving you point (1,1)
If x = 2, y = 2^2 = 4 giving you point (2,4)
----------------------------
Plot those points and sketch a smooth curve thru them to get:
