Graphing the parent graph of an exponential equation with base 2

The video tutorial explains how to graph the function y = 2^x by creating a table of values. It covers calculating values for positive, zero, and negative exponents, emphasizing the rule of reciprocals for negative exponents. The tutorial concludes with plotting these values to visualize the graph, which resembles a boomerang shape.
