Answer: The required value is


(f-g)(x)=x^2+8.

Step-by-step explanation: The given functions are:


f(x)=2x^2+1,\\\\g(x)=x^2-7.

We are given to find the value of
(f-g)(x).

We know that, if s(x) and t(x) are any two functions of a variable x, then we have


(s-t)(x)=s(x)-t(x).

Therefore, we have


(f-g)(x)\\\\=f(x)-g(x)\\\\=(2x^2+1)-(x^2-7)\\\\=2x^2+1-x^2+7\\\\=x^2+8.

Thus, the required value is


(f-g)(x)=x^2+8.
