Is shifting right positive or negative?

radians. Such a shifting is referred to as a horizontal shift. If the horizontal shift is positive, the shifting moves to the right. If the horizontal shift is negative, the shifting moves to the left.

Does reflection come before translation?

The multiplying for the reflections, stretches, or shrinks should come before the addition for translations. Horizontal transformations are a little counterintuitive to think about. With the function g(x) = f(2x + 3), for example, think about how the inputs to the function g relate to the inputs to the function f.
