Before we can do the transformations, we must change the 
form of the final result to show the shrinking and 
shifting required:

 

We factor 4 out in the parentheses in the denominator,
in spite of the fact that it involve a fraction:
 
 

Then we square the 4



Then we cancel the 2 into the 16
 
 

Then we consider the division by 8 as a multiplication
by 1/8:



 ----------------------------------------

Now we can begin the transformations:

 to 

Begin with this red graph: 


Shift left by 3/4 by replacing  by 



That's this green graph: 

Shrink by a factor of 1/8, a shrink because 1/8 < 1



That's this blue graph: 

Shift downward 1 unit by subtracting 1 from the whole right side:
 


That's this wine-colored graph at the bottom:
