Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot following points.

Calculate the point by plugging in values of x into x^2 + 1

for example When x = 0, y = 0^1 + 1 = 1.

So plot plot (0, 1),

Make a table of points to plot:

x   -3    -2    -1    0    1    2     3

y   10     5     2   1     2   5    10

When you plot the points you'll see the graph is U shaped.

The function is of second degree (as it contains x^2) so it wont be linear.
