Answer:
g(x)=3^x+2

Explanation:

The function
f(x)=3^x is an exponential function of base 3.

This function has the point of intersection with the y-axis at
y=1.

And in the point
x=1 the value of the function is 3.

In the grph you can observe an exponential function that cuts the y-axis at the point
y=3 and when
x=1, then
g(x)=5.

Therefore, the function g(x) is the function f(x) shifted two units up.

Then, the transfomration for f(x) is:


g(x)=f(x)+2

Therefore, the equation g(x) is:


g(x)=3^x+2
