you can first look for turning points on the graph by differentiation
are you familiar with this?  maxima and minimum points , points of inflection?

anonymous · Answer

that is all it gave me

cwrw238 · Answer

well they will  help you to sketch the graph
you can also find the value of f(x) when x = 0 to find where the graph cuts the y-axis
