How to plot a function curve in R

I did some searching on the web, and this are some ways that I found:

The easiest way is using curve without predefined function

curve(x^2, from=1, to=50, , xlab="x", ylab="y")

You can also use curve when you have a predfined function

eq = function(x){x*x}
curve(eq, from=1, to=50, xlab="x", ylab="y")

If you want to use ggplot,

library("ggplot2")
eq = function(x){x*x}
ggplot(data.frame(x=c(1, 50)), aes(x=x)) + 
  stat_function(fun=eq)
