1. Problem Description

Given the function f(x)=x2+6x11f(x) = -x^2 + 6x - 11, we need to find:
(a) f(2)f(2)
(b) f(10)f(-10)
(c) f(t)f(t)
(d) f(t3)f(t-3)
(e) f(x3)f(x-3)
(f) f(4x1)f(4x-1)

2. Solution Steps

(a) f(2)=(2)2+6(2)11=4+1211=811=3f(2) = -(2)^2 + 6(2) - 11 = -4 + 12 - 11 = 8 - 11 = -3
(b) f(10)=(10)2+6(10)11=1006011=171f(-10) = -(-10)^2 + 6(-10) - 11 = -100 - 60 - 11 = -171
(c) f(t)=t2+6t11f(t) = -t^2 + 6t - 11
(d) f(t3)=(t3)2+6(t3)11f(t-3) = -(t-3)^2 + 6(t-3) - 11
=(t26t+9)+6t1811= -(t^2 - 6t + 9) + 6t - 18 - 11
=t2+6t9+6t1811= -t^2 + 6t - 9 + 6t - 18 - 11
=t2+12t38= -t^2 + 12t - 38
(e) f(x3)=(x3)2+6(x3)11f(x-3) = -(x-3)^2 + 6(x-3) - 11
=(x26x+9)+6x1811= -(x^2 - 6x + 9) + 6x - 18 - 11
=x2+6x9+6x1811= -x^2 + 6x - 9 + 6x - 18 - 11
=x2+12x38= -x^2 + 12x - 38
(f) f(4x1)=(4x1)2+6(4x1)11f(4x-1) = -(4x-1)^2 + 6(4x-1) - 11
=(16x28x+1)+24x611= -(16x^2 - 8x + 1) + 24x - 6 - 11
=16x2+8x1+24x611= -16x^2 + 8x - 1 + 24x - 6 - 11
=16x2+32x18= -16x^2 + 32x - 18

3. Final Answer

(a) f(2)=3f(2) = -3
(b) f(10)=171f(-10) = -171
(c) f(t)=t2+6t11f(t) = -t^2 + 6t - 11
(d) f(t3)=t2+12t38f(t-3) = -t^2 + 12t - 38
(e) f(x3)=x2+12x38f(x-3) = -x^2 + 12x - 38
(f) f(4x1)=16x2+32x18f(4x-1) = -16x^2 + 32x - 18
