Answer:
- vertical scaling by a factor of 1/3 (compression)
- reflection over the y-axis
- horizontal scaling by a factor of 3 (expansion)
- translation left 1 unit
- translation up 3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
These are the transformations of interest:
g(x) = k·f(x) . . . . . vertical scaling (expansion) by a factor of k
g(x) = f(x) +k . . . . vertical translation by k units (upward)
g(x) = f(x/k) . . . . . horizontal expansion by a factor of k. When k < 0, the function is also reflected over the y-axis
g(x) = f(x-k) . . . . . horizontal translation to the right by k units

Here, we have ...
g(x) = 1/3f(-1/3(x+1)) +3
The vertical and horizontal transformations can be applied in either order, since neither affects the other. If we work left-to-right through the expression for g(x), we can see these transformations have been applied:
- vertical scaling by a factor of 1/3 (compression) . . . 1/3f(x)
- reflection over the y-axis . . . 1/3f(-x)
- horizontal scaling by a factor of 3 (expansion) . . . 1/3f(-1/3x)
- translation left 1 unit . . . 1/3f(-1/3(x+1))
- translation up 3 units . . . 1/3f(-1/3(x+1)) +3

<em>Additional comment</em>
The "working" is a matter of matching the form of g(x) to the forms of the different transformations. It is a pattern-matching problem.
The horizontal transformations could also be described as ...
- translation right 1/3 unit . . . f(x -1/3)
- reflection over y and expansion by a factor of 3 . . . f(-1/3x -1/3)
The initial translation in this scenario would be reflected to a translation left 1/3 unit, then the horizontal expansion would turn that into a translation left 1 unit, as described above. Order matters.
Answer:
7(-6)=-42
After 7 weeks the price will be reduced by 7 times $6
Thus the price will be $42
Ok so to start, your unknown numbers will ne represented as x. The equation looks like this: x+x+1+x+2=228. You have your unknown number, the number plus one, and the numner plus two. To find the answer you divide 228 by 3. Those numbers are all equal though,so you play around with them until you get 75+75+1+75+2=228
1/4(r - 5/2) = 1/8
Divide both sides by 1/8 :0
2(r - 5/2) = 1
r - 5/2 = 1/2
r = 1/2 + 5/2 = 6/2
r = 3 Answer
I think its 30 trillion cells
hope it helps
