Final answer:

Without the specific expressions for g(x) and f(x), we cannot accurately calculate (g - f)(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find (g - f)(x), you need the expressions for g(x) and f(x). Since the specific forms of g(x) and f(x) are not provided in the question, we can't complete the calculation of (g - f)(x). Usually, you would subtract the function f(x) from g(x), by subtracting the coefficients of the corresponding terms in each polynomial.

If we had, for example, g(x) = x^2 + bx and f(x) = cx + d, then (g - f)(x) = (x^2 + bx) - (cx + d) = x^2 + (b-c)x - d. However, without the specific functions, it is not possible to directly answer this question.
