Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The equation is a quadratic. Its graph is a U-shape called a parabola. A parabola is made of three points to graph it: the vertex and two other points (often intercepts).

The equation since it is 2x^2 has the vertex at the origin (0,0).

Then plug in x = 1 to find 2(1^2) = 2*1 = 2. Plot a point at (1,2). Since it is a U shape then there will be a symmetrical point across the y-axis at (-1,2) as well. These are the three points to graph.
