Answer:The required difference in the expression (f – g)(x) is - 6x³+ 4x² + 4x - 8

Given the following functions

f(x) = 2x² + 4x - 5

g(x) = 6x³ – 2x² + 3

In order to get the required function (f-g)(x), we will have to take the difference of the function as shown:

(f – g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

Substitute the given parameters into the expression

(f – g)(x) = 2x² + 4x - 5 - (6x³ – 2x² + 3)

Expand

(f – g)(x) = 2x² + 4x - 5 - 6x³ + 2x² - 3

Collect the like terms

(f – g)(x) = 2x²+2x²- 6x³ + 4x -5 -3

(f – g)(x) = - 6x³+ 4x² + 4x -5 -3

(f – g)(x) = - 6x³+ 4x² + 4x - 8

Hence the required difference in the expression (f – g)(x) is - 6x³+ 4x² + 4x - 8
