Answer:

C. 3x² + x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions f(x) and g(x) defined as follows:


\begin{gathered} f\mleft(x\mright)=2x^2+3x-5 \\ g\mleft(x\mright)=5x^2+4x-1 \end{gathered}

If we subtract f(x) from g(x), we have:


g(x)-f(x)=(5x^2+4x-1)-(2x^2+3x-5)

We then open the bracket and simplify:


\begin{gathered} =5x^2+4x-1-2x^2-3x+5 \\ =5x^2-2x^2+4x-3x-1+5 \\ =3x^2+x+4 \end{gathered}

The correct choice is C.
