How do i substitute a value into a polynomial in Magma (CAS)?

I have the following code R := PolynomialRing( Integers() ); i:=2^6-1; a:=Intseq(i,2); f:=Polynomial(a); f; //resulting in X^5 + X^4 + X^3 + X^2 + X + 1 I would like to replace the terms of the polynomial X with an integer, let's say 3…
