That is a simple cubic equation, and what would have been the origin (0,0) for y=x^3, has now been moved to (2,1) instead; along with the entire graph being moved the same way. You should find very little if any trouble finding the y values corresponding to integer assignments for x from 0 to 4. Note, you are exponentiating to a whole number so this is uncomplicated.
