Graph Transformations and Symmetry

The question involves translating, reflecting, or otherwise transforming the graph of an exponential function and reasoning about the resulting graph's properties or symmetry.

When the graph of the function $f ( x ) = 2 ^ { x }$ is translated by $m$ in the $x$-direction and by $n$ in the $y$-direction, the graph of the function $y = g ( x )$ is obtained. By this translation, point $\mathrm { A } ( 1 , f ( 1 ) )$ moves to point $\mathrm { A } ^ { \prime } ( 3 , g ( 3 ) )$. When the graph of the function $y = g ( x )$ passes through the point $( 0,1 )$, what is the value of $m + n$? [3 points]
(1) $\frac { 11 } { 4 }$
(2) 3
(3) $\frac { 13 } { 4 }$
(4) $\frac { 7 } { 2 }$
(5) $\frac { 15 } { 4 }$

On the coordinate plane, the graph of the exponential function $y = a ^ { x }$ is reflected about the $y$-axis, then translated 3 units in the $x$-direction and 2 units in the $y$-direction. The resulting graph passes through the point $( 1,4 )$. What is the value of the positive number $a$? [3 points]
(1) $\sqrt { 2 }$
(2) 2
(3) $2 \sqrt { 2 }$
(4) 4
(5) $4 \sqrt { 2 }$
