Answer 1

Given:

The two functions are:

`P(x)=x^2-x-6`

`Q(x)=x-3`

To find:

The function
`P(x)-Q(x)`.

Solution:

We need to find the function
`P(x)-Q(x)`.

`P(x)-Q(x)=(x^2-x-6)-(x-3)`

`P(x)-Q(x)=x^2-x-6-x+3`

`P(x)-Q(x)=x^2+(-x-x)+(-6+3)`

`P(x)-Q(x)=x^2-2x-3`

Therefore, the correct option is C.
