Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided function, we are going to plot five points on the graph and use them to graph the function with the help of a graphing calculator, then we get the following:

To calculate the 5 points we will evaluate the function at x=0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, then we have:

x=0:


\begin{gathered} g(x)=2^x \\ g(0)=2^0 \\ g(0)=1 \end{gathered}

x=1:


\begin{gathered} g(x)=2^x \\ g(1)=2^1 \\ g(1)=2 \end{gathered}

x=2:


\begin{gathered} g(x)=2^x \\ g(2)=2^2 \\ g(2)=4 \end{gathered}

x=3:


\begin{gathered} g(x)=2^x \\ g(3)=2^3 \\ g(3)=8 \end{gathered}

x=4:


\begin{gathered} g(x)=2^x \\ g(4)=2^4 \\ g(4)=16 \end{gathered}

Finally then we will graph these points and use them to graph the function, and the graph looks like this:
