For every occurence of x in the function, replace it with 0 and simplify.

for that matter) and a definition of the function as an expression involving 
, then you need to read it as "the value of the function 
at is: "
So if the value of the function at is 
, then the value of the function at 
is ^2\ -\ 11(0)\ =\ 0)
.
Whatever is in the parentheses replaces in the function definition -- then do the appropriate arithmetic.
Also:
If \ =\ 3x^2\ -\ 11x)
, then \ =\ 3a^2\ -\ 11a)
, or \ =\ 3(x+h)^2\ -\ 11(x+h))
, or, if \ =\ x^2\ -\ 3)
, then )\ =\ 3(g(x))^2\ -\ 11(g(x))\ =\ 3(x^2-3)^2\ -\ 11(x^2-3))
Your other problem says that the value of the function at is 83 no matter what the value of might be. So, \ =\ 83)
means that \ =\ 83)
, \ =\ 83)
, and \ =\ 83)
