To transform the function \( f(x) = 3^3 \) to the expression \( -f(3x - 2) + 1 \), we'll first calculate the value of \( f(3x - 2) \) and then apply the transformations step-by-step according to the order of operations.

Let's break down the transformations and fill in the table step-by-step.

Step 1: Evaluate \( f(x) = 3^3 \)

\[ f(x) = 27 \]

Step 2: Substitute \( 3x - 2 \) into \( f(x) \)

\[ f(3x - 2) = 3^{(3x - 2)} \]

Step 3: Rewrite the expression

Now we apply the positive exponent from \( f(3x - 2) \):

\[ f(3x - 2) = 3^{3x - 2} \]

Step 4: Apply the negative outside the function

Now we have to apply the negative sign:

\[ -f(3x - 2) = -3^{3x - 2} \]

Step 5: Finally add 1

\[ -f(3x - 2) + 1 = -3^{3x - 2} + 1 \]

Summary Table:

| Step | Expression | Calculation/Value | |------|------------|-------------------| | 1 | \( f(x) = 3^3 \) | \( 27 \) | | 2 | \( f(3x - 2) = 3^{3x - 2} \) | | | 3 | \( -f(3x - 2) = -3^{3x - 2} \) | | | 4 | \( -3^{3x - 2} + 1 \) | |

This table demonstrates the transition from \( f(x) = 3^3 \) to \( -f(3x - 2) + 1 \) by progressively rewriting the expressions while maintaining clarity on the order of operations applied. Each step involves applying one operation at a time until the complete transformation is achieved.
