Check the points in the eqaution and see if the left site is eqaul to the right side?

Explanation:

#y = x^3 - 2sqrt x, and (0, 0), (1, 1), (1, -1)#:

#(0, 0):#
Is #0 = 0^3 - 2sqrt 0# ?
#0 = 0 #

#(1, 1):#
#y = x^3 - 2sqrt x#
Is #1 = 1 - 2sqrt 1# ?
#1 = -1# ? No.

#(1, -1):#
Is #-1 = 1^3 - 2sqrt 1# ?
#-1 = -1#

#(0, 0) and (1, -1)# lie on the graph.
