See the full explanation below.

Work Step by Step

We have to plot the graphs of the functions with the help of the points individually for $f\left( x \right)$ and $g\left( x \right)$. The coordinates of $f\left( x \right)$ for $x=-2$ to $x=2$ are as follows: $\begin{align} & x=-2 \\ & f\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}} \\ & ={{\left( -2 \right)}^{3}} \\ & =-8 \end{align}$ $\begin{align} & x=-1 \\ & f\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}} \\ & ={{\left( -1 \right)}^{3}} \\ & =-1 \end{align}$ $\begin{align} & x=0 \\ & f\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}} \\ & ={{\left( 0 \right)}^{3}} \\ & =0 \end{align}$ $\begin{align} & x=1 \\ & f\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}} \\ & ={{\left( 1 \right)}^{3}} \\ & =1 \end{align}$ $\begin{align} & x=2 \\ & f\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}} \\ & ={{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}} \\ & =8 \end{align}$ The coordinates of $g\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+2$ for $x=-2$ to $x=2$ are as follows: $\begin{align} & x=-2 \\ & g\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+2 \\ & ={{\left( -2 \right)}^{3}}+2 \\ & =-6 \end{align}$ $\begin{align} & x=-1 \\ & g\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+2 \\ & ={{\left( -1 \right)}^{3}}+2 \\ & =1 \end{align}$ $\begin{align} & x=0 \\ & g\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+2 \\ & ={{\left( 0 \right)}^{3}}+2 \\ & =2 \end{align}$ $\begin{align} & x=1 \\ & g\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+2 \\ & ={{\left( 1 \right)}^{3}}+2 \\ & =3 \end{align}$ $\begin{align} & x=2 \\ & g\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}+2 \\ & ={{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}+2 \\ & =10 \end{align}$
