Solution Steps

To find \( f(x+h) \) for the function \( f(x) = x^2 - x - 3 \), we need to substitute \( x+h \) into the function in place of \( x \).

Step 1: Define the Function \( f(x) \)

The given function is: \[ f(x) = x^2 - x - 3 \]

Step 2: Substitute \( x + h \) into the Function

To find \( f(x + h) \), substitute \( x + h \) into the function: \[ f(x + h) = (x + h)^2 - (x + h) - 3 \]

Step 3: Expand the Expression

Expand the expression: \[ f(x + h) = (x + h)^2 - (x + h) - 3 \] \[ = x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - x - h - 3 \]

Step 4: Simplify the Expression

Combine like terms: \[ f(x + h) = x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - x - h - 3 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{f(x + h) = x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - x - h - 3}\)
