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.
We have been given that The boston celtics have won 16 nba championships over approximately 50 years. Therefore, it can be concluded that in any given year the probability of celtics winning the title will be p = 16/50 = 0.32
For Celtics to win eight straight championships in 1959, we will be required to multiply the probability of winning championship in one year to itself 8 times.
Therefore, the required probability is:
Therefore, the required probability is almost 0.00011.
