Answer

Graphs: .

Work Step by Step

Graph $f_{1}(x)=3^{x}$ first. We have the points: $\left\{\begin{array}{l} (-1,1/3)\\ (0,1),\\ (1,3)\\ (2,9) \end{array}\right.$ We obtain the graph of $f(x)$ by vertically compressing $f_{1}(x)$ by the factor $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$. We have the points: $\left\{\begin{array}{l} (-1,1/6)\\ (0,1/2),\\ (1,3/2)\\ (2,9/2) \end{array}\right.$ We obtain the graph of $g(x)$ by reflecting $f(x)$ about the y-axis. We have the points: $\left\{\begin{array}{l} (+1,1/6)\\ (0,1/2),\\ (-1,3/2)\\ (-2,9/2) \end{array}\right.$
