Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Inequalities
Inequalities are mathematical expressions that show the relationship between two values when they are not equal. They use symbols such as '>', '<', '≥', and '≤' to indicate whether one side is greater than, less than, or equal to the other. Understanding how to interpret and graph inequalities is essential for visualizing the solution set on a coordinate plane.

Exponential Functions
Exponential functions are mathematical functions of the form f(x) = a * b^x, where 'a' is a constant, 'b' is a positive base, and 'x' is the exponent. In the given inequality, y > 2^x + 1, the term 2^x represents an exponential function that grows rapidly as 'x' increases. Recognizing the behavior of exponential functions is crucial for accurately graphing the inequality.

Graphing Techniques
Graphing techniques involve plotting points on a coordinate plane to represent mathematical relationships visually. For inequalities, it is important to determine the boundary line (in this case, y = 2^x + 1) and then shade the appropriate region that satisfies the inequality. Understanding how to apply these techniques helps in accurately representing the solution set of the inequality.
