Solution Steps

To find and simplify g(x11) g(x-11) , substitute x11 x-11 into the function g(x)=x27x+13 g(x) = x^2 - 7x + 13 . This involves replacing every instance of x x in the function with x11 x-11 and then simplifying the resulting expression.

Step 1: Substitute x11 x-11 into g(x) g(x)

We start with the function g(x)=x27x+13 g(x) = x^2 - 7x + 13 . To find g(x11) g(x-11) , we substitute x11 x-11 for x x :

g(x11)=(x11)27(x11)+13 g(x-11) = (x-11)^2 - 7(x-11) + 13

Step 2: Expand the Expression

Next, we expand the expression:

g(x11)=(x222x+121)(7x77)+13 g(x-11) = (x^2 - 22x + 121) - (7x - 77) + 13

This simplifies to:

g(x11)=x222x+1217x+77+13 g(x-11) = x^2 - 22x + 121 - 7x + 77 + 13

Step 3: Combine Like Terms

Now, we combine the like terms:

g(x11)=x229x+(121+77+13) g(x-11) = x^2 - 29x + (121 + 77 + 13)

Calculating the constant term:

121+77+13=211 121 + 77 + 13 = 211

Thus, we have:

g(x11)=x229x+211 g(x-11) = x^2 - 29x + 211

Final Answer

The simplified expression for g(x11) g(x-11) is

g(x11)=x229x+211 \boxed{g(x-11) = x^2 - 29x + 211}
