let x−3 = t , x = t+3   f(t) = (t+3)^2 −12(t+3)+41  f(t)=t^2 +6t+9−12t−36+41  f(t)=t^2 −6t+14 , replace t by x   f(x)=x^2 −6x+14

$${let}\:{x}−\mathrm{3}\:=\:{t}\:,\:{x}\:=\:{t}+\mathrm{3}\: \\ $$$${f}\left({t}\right)\:=\:\left({t}+\mathrm{3}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{12}\left({t}+\mathrm{3}\right)+\mathrm{41} \\ $$$${f}\left({t}\right)={t}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{6}{t}+\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{12}{t}−\mathrm{36}+\mathrm{41} \\ $$$${f}\left({t}\right)={t}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{6}{t}+\mathrm{14}\:,\:{replace}\:{t}\:{by}\:{x}\: \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)={x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{14} \\ $$
