f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}

$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}


\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}
\end{array}$

now, with that template in mind, let's see

3 units to the right, that means C/B = -3 so hmm C = -3 and B = 1 will do, -3/1 = -3

vertical stretch by 2, so A = 2
reflected over the x-axis, so that means is flipped upside-down, so A = -2 then

and shifted down by 3, do D = -3

$\bf f(x)={{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}\implies f(x)={{ -2}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ 1}}x-{{ 3}}}-{{3}}\\\\\\ f(x)={{ -2}}(3)^{{{ }}x-{{ 3}}}-{{3}}$

The quotient of two expressions is the division of the expressions

The quotient of $\frac{7^{-1}}{7^{-2}}$ is 7
