first off, is noteworthy that's the graph of an exponential function, thus the function will be along the lines of g(x) = abˣ , now, what's "a" and "b" values?

well, let's take a peek when x = 0 and x = 1.


\bf g(x) = ab^x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} x = 0\\ y = 1 \end{cases}\implies 1=ab^0\implies 1=a(1)\implies \boxed{1=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} x = 1\\ y = 4 \end{cases}\implies 4 = ab^1\implies 4=1b^1\implies \boxed{4=b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill g(x) = 4^x\qquad \qquad \qquad \begin{array}c \cline{1-2} x&y\\ \cline{1-2} -2&(1)/(4^2)\to (1)/(16)\\ -1&(1)/(4)\\ 0&1\\ 1&4\\ 2&16\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}~\hfill
