Answer:

The exact graph is attached.

To graph this functions we just need to give arbitrary values to x and calculate each corresponding value to f(x).

In this case, we could use the following table:

x f(x)

-2 0

-1 4

0 0

1 -18

2 -24

If you graph each pair, you will have 5 points, which once connected it will give you the graph attached.
