Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

f(x) = x² + 1

Step 2: Evaluate

  1. Substitute in x [Function f(x)]:                                                                           f(a + 1) = (a + 1)² + 1
  2. Expand [FOIL]:                                                                                                  f(a + 1) = a² + 2a + 1 + 1
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                         f(a + 1) = a² + 2a + 2
