Here is the graph of the piecewise function \( f(x) \) as requested. The plot includes:

- **For \( x < 0 \)**: \( f(x) = (x + 2)^2 \), shown in blue.
- **For \( x = 0 \)**: \( f(x) = -1 \), indicated by a red dot at \((0, -1)\).
- **For \( x > 0 \)**: \( f(x) = x^3 + 4 \), shown in green.

Would you like further explanation on any part of this graph?

Here are some related questions for further exploration:
1. What is the behavior of the function as \( x \to -\infty \) and \( x \to \infty \)?
2. How would the graph change if \( f(x) = (x + 2)^2 \) was defined for \( x \leq 0 \) instead of \( x < 0 \)?
3. What is the derivative of this piecewise function?
4. Can you determine if the function is continuous at \( x = 0 \)?
5. What happens to the graph if we replace \( x^3 + 4 \) with \( x^3 - 4 \) for \( x > 0 \)?

**Tip:** When sketching piecewise functions, plot each interval separately to ensure accuracy at transition points.
