See explanation

Explanation:

As x2 is positive the graph is of form

Additional comment: if we had x2 then the graph would be

For a moment consider the equation as: y=x21x+3

Then xvertex=(12)×1=+12(x,y)=(12,y)

Also yintercept=+3(x,y)=(0,3)

Mark your points and draw a curved line through all the points as best as you can. To obtain mote marks show you table. Either on the graph itself or separately.

I have only shown a few of the points
