Final Answer:

The value of (f-g)(x) is 2x³-3x² - 10x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference of two functions, we can subtract the corresponding terms of each function. In this case, we have:

f(x) = 5x - 2

g(x) = 2x³ - 3x² + 5x - 4

To find (f-g)(x), we can subtract the corresponding terms of each function:

(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

(f-g)(x) = (5x - 2) - (2x³ - 3x² + 5x - 4)

Distributing the negative sign, we get:

(f-g)(x) = 5x - 2 - 2x³ + 3x² - 5x + 4

Combining like terms, we get:

(f-g)(x) = 2x³ - 3x² - 10x + 2

Therefore, (f-g)(x) = 2x³-3x² - 10x + 2.
