First you might want to find all the zeros or roots of this equation. That would be
0=x-x%5E3
0=x%281-x%5E2%29
0=x%281-x%29%281%2Bx%29+
x= 0, x=1, x= -1

It's best to find ALL the roots first, just to make sure your graph isn't missing something important by looking in too large or too small a window.

Now, graph:
+graph+%28300%2C300%2C-4%2C+4%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+x-x%5E3%29
