To analyze the functions \( f(x) = 2^x + 2 \) and \( g(x) = 2^x + 2 \), we first note that both functions are actually identical, meaning their graphs will also be identical. Let's break down the transformations to the parent function \( h(x) = 2^x \).

### Comparing the functions:
1. **Function f(x)**:
- The function \( f(x) = 2^x + 2 \) is the parent function \( h(x) = 2^x \) shifted upwards by 2 units.

2. **Function g(x)**:
- Similarly, the function \( g(x) = 2^x + 2 \) is also the parent function \( h(x) = 2^x \) shifted upwards by 2 units.

### Answering the questions regarding translations:
- Since both functions are the same, their behaviors will also be identical.

Here’s how you can fill in the responses:

1. The graph of \( f(x) \) is a translation of the parent function \( h(x) = 2^x \) **2 unit(s)** **upwards**.
2. The graph of \( g(x) \) is a translation of the parent function \( h(x) = 2^x \) **2 unit(s)** **upwards**.

So, the completed response would be:
- The graph of​ f(x) is a translation of the parent function h(x) = 2^x **2 unit(s)** upward, whereas the graph of​ g(x) is a translation of the parent function h(x) = 2^x **2 unit(s)** upward.
