1. Problem Description

We are given the function f(x)=x2+6x11f(x) = -x^2 + 6x - 11. We need to find the values of f(2)f(2), f(10)f(-10), f(t)f(t), f(t3)f(t-3), f(x3)f(x-3), and f(4x1)f(4x-1).

2. Solution Steps

(a) f(2)f(2):
Substitute x=2x=2 into the function:
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)f(-10):
Substitute x=10x=-10 into the function:
f(10)=(10)2+6(10)11=1006011=171f(-10) = -(-10)^2 + 6(-10) - 11 = -100 - 60 - 11 = -171
(c) f(t)f(t):
Substitute x=tx=t into the function:
f(t)=t2+6t11f(t) = -t^2 + 6t - 11
(d) f(t3)f(t-3):
Substitute x=t3x=t-3 into the function:
f(t3)=(t3)2+6(t3)11f(t-3) = -(t-3)^2 + 6(t-3) - 11
f(t3)=(t26t+9)+6t1811f(t-3) = -(t^2 - 6t + 9) + 6t - 18 - 11
f(t3)=t2+6t9+6t1811f(t-3) = -t^2 + 6t - 9 + 6t - 18 - 11
f(t3)=t2+12t38f(t-3) = -t^2 + 12t - 38
(e) f(x3)f(x-3):
Substitute xx with x3x-3 in the function.
f(x3)=(x3)2+6(x3)11f(x-3) = -(x-3)^2 + 6(x-3) - 11
f(x3)=(x26x+9)+6x1811f(x-3) = -(x^2 - 6x + 9) + 6x - 18 - 11
f(x3)=x2+6x9+6x1811f(x-3) = -x^2 + 6x - 9 + 6x - 18 - 11
f(x3)=x2+12x38f(x-3) = -x^2 + 12x - 38
(f) f(4x1)f(4x-1):
Substitute x=4x1x=4x-1 into the function:
f(4x1)=(4x1)2+6(4x1)11f(4x-1) = -(4x-1)^2 + 6(4x-1) - 11
f(4x1)=(16x28x+1)+24x611f(4x-1) = -(16x^2 - 8x + 1) + 24x - 6 - 11
f(4x1)=16x2+8x1+24x611f(4x-1) = -16x^2 + 8x - 1 + 24x - 6 - 11
f(4x1)=16x2+32x18f(4x-1) = -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
