\n" ); document.write( "Replace \"x\" with \"x+4\".

\n" ); document.write( "You could do

\n" ); document.write( "\"g%28x%29+=+%28x%2B4%29%5E2%2B5%28x%2B4%29-6\"

\n" ); document.write( "and simplify; but it's probably easier to write f(x) in factored form and do the replacement.

\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29+=+x%5E2%2B5x-6+=+%28x%2B6%29%28x-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
