g(x)=3-f(4x)

using translation,reflection,dilations.contractions,

 

Well it would  be contracted to one quarter its original width.

Then it would be reflected about the x axis. That is reflected about y=0

Then the whole graph would be translated upwards 3 units.

 

Here are a couple of examples:

Understanding this type of thing is key to being able to draw graphs yourself.

This is how I would always free hand draw any complicated graph - I'd build it up in stages like this.
