The transformation from \(y = f(x)\) to \(y = 3 - f(x)\) involves two steps:

1. Reflection in the x-axis: This changes \(y = f(x)\) to \(y = -f(x)\).

2. Translation 3 units in the positive y-direction: This changes \(y = -f(x)\) to \(y = 3 - f(x)\).

Alternatively, the transformations can be performed in reverse order:

1. Translation 3 units in the negative y-direction: This changes \(y = f(x)\) to \(y = f(x) - 3\).

2. Reflection in the x-axis: This changes \(y = f(x) - 3\) to \(y = 3 - f(x)\).
