TL;DNR: There's a blend file at the end with a node tree that creates a mirrored sigmoid function that accomplishes what you want.
You can accomplish roughly this with this node group:

It generates this curve:

Set keyframes on the amplitude value to change the height of the curve. That's your "certain number".
How it works
The upper framed nodes create a mesh line whose range runs from 0 to whatever maximum X value you set in the range input node.
The lower framed nodes create the function you want to plot. In this case it's merely $A*sin(f*x)$ over the range set in the top part; where $A$ is the amplitude value and $f$ is the frequencey value.
How to use it
By changing the Math nodes between the separateXYZ and combineXYZ nodes you can change the overall shape of the curve to the one you want.
If you want it centered on the origin, you can simply use a Transform node on the end to move it back, or do a bit of arithmetic on the x value of the coordinates to move it in the Set Postion node. I've done the later.
Your equation
You're looking for a symmetric variation of the sigmoid function
$$ e^x / (e^x + 1) $$
You want the negative values to be in the range of around -4 to around 4 and the positive values to be in the reverse of that range. Multiply the result by your "certain number" to get a curve that looks like your drawing.
Here's a node group that gives you the negative half of the curve. Note that I've added the nodes to move the curve back so it ends on the origin.


Note that if you replace $e$ with multiples of $e$ you can make the curve more pronounced: Here I've replaced $e$ with $3e$:

Finally, by doing the curve twice, once with the x range fed to the function reversed you get this mess of nodes:

and this result:

Controlling the width
It's designed to be symmetric and you can control the two points on the X axis using the Range input that's in the upper framed area. If you don't want symmetry you will have to do a bit of extra work.
Bonus for reading this far
Here's a blend file containing the final node group.
