    If \[f(x+1)={{x}^{2}}-3x+2,\] then \[f(x)\]is equal to:

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}-5x-6\]

    B)        \[{{x}^{2}}+5x-6\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}+5x+6\]

    D)        \[{{x}^{2}}-5x+6\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Given function is: \[f(x+1)={{x}^{2}}-3x+2\] This function is valid for all real values of x. so, putting x - 1 in place. Of x, we get \[f(x)=f(x-1+1)\Rightarrow f(x)={{(x-1)}^{2}}-3(x-1)+2\] \[\Rightarrow f(x)={{x}^{2}}-2x+1-3x+3+2\] \[\Rightarrow f(x)={{x}^{2}}-5x+6\]
