The idea is this: Everywhere you see an 'x', you replace it with k-1. This is what it means to plug in x = k-1
Start with the given function.
Replace EVERY x with k-1.
** Take special note of the parenthesis on the right side **
Taking advantage of the fact that
FOIL/expand
Distribute
Multiply
Group like terms.
Combine like terms.
It's a lot of work, but hopefully it makes sense.
So the final answer is
