The exponential parent function is typically expressed in the simplest form: \( f(x) = a^x \), where \( a > 0 \) and \( a \neq 1 \).

Among the functions you provided, the one that matches the form of an exponential parent function is:

\( f(x) = 2^x \)

The other functions have additional constants added or subtracted, which shift the graph but do not represent the pure parent function form.
