Answer:
f(x-2) = 3x^2 - 14x + 17
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is put (x-2) for every x:
3(x-2)^2 - 2(x-2) + 1
Make sure you FOIL (x-2)^2 first:
x^2 - 4x + 4
Now distribute the 3:
3x^2 - 12x + 12
Now distribute the 2 in the 2(x-2):
3x^2 - 12x + 12 - 2x + 4 + 1
Combine like terms:
3x^2 - 14x + 17 = f(x-2)
Hope that helps!
