You can put this solution on YOUR website!
g%28x%29+=+0.25%5E%281-x%29
g%28x%29+=+%281%2F4%29%5E%281-x%29
g%28x%29+=+%284%5E%28-1%29%29%5E%281-x%29
g%28x%29+=+%284%5E%28-1%2A%281-x%29%29%29+
g%28x%29+=+4%5E%28x-1%29++=+f%28x%29+

Converting f(x) to g(x) will be a similar process, somewhat in reverse!
