The laziest way would be to pick y=1*x^4, which still is polinomial (with every other coefficent being zero) and 4th grade.
Now y= x^4 could be seen as (x^2)^2, witch reminds of a parabola... with just a faster rate of growth. By having a grid on your paper and picking a few points (x= 0, +/-1, +/- 2, +/- 3, you should get the sketch you need.
