Answer:

4

Explanation:

When subtracting coefficients, the resultant coefficient of a term is the difference of the coefficients of the term in each polynomial

So the coefficient of x² when Polynomial 2 is subtracted from Polynomial 1 is just
(9-5 = 4

The resultant polynomial will have 4x² as one of the terms

The other terms subtracted need not be considered but here is the result

7x^4-3x^3+9x^2+9x-3\\-\\3x^4+9x^3+5x^2+6x-8\\------------\\4x^4-12x^3+\bold{4x^2}+3x+5\\
