Find the derivative of the polynomial w.r.t x. Equate the derivative to 0.
The value of x obtained, when being put in in the polynomial will give its max.(A<0)
or min. value(A>0).
After this, the graph can be drawn easily.
For ex;
y=2x^2+12x+16
Derivative=4x+12=0
which gives x=-3
On putting x=-3 in
y=2x^2+12x+16, we get min. value of this polynomial.
which comes out to be -2.
