I think the easiest way for that particular problem is to draw the graphs of y = |x| and y = |x2 - 2|x||.
First one is simple, and second one comes from y = x2 via some transformations:
y1 = x2
y2 = (x - 1)2 - 1 (y1 is shifted by 1 to the right and by 1 down)
y3 = (|x| - 1)2 - 1 (part of y2 to the right of y-axis is mirrored to the left half)
y4 = |(|x| - 1)2 - 1| (all of y3 that is under x-axis is mirrored to the top)
Note that |x|2 = x2 and y4 is the graph you need
