Answer:


-10x^(3) -6x-6

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find f(x) - g(x). In the question it also gives the values of each as:

f(x) =
-8x^(3) +1

g(x) =
2x^(3) +6x+7

To find the answer, plug both of these values into f(x) - g(x):

(
-8x^(3) +1)-(
2x^(3) +6x+7) Lets distribute the negative to
2x^(3) +6x+7.


-8x^(3) +1 -
2x^(3)-6x-7 Combine like terms


-10x^(3) -6x-6

Therefore, the final answer for f(x) - g(x) is equal to
-10x^(3) -6x-6.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions about my work please put them in the comments below!

Answer: -10x³ - 6x - 6

Explanation:

f(x) -g(x) means we will subtract g(x) from f(x)


Given:

(-8x³ + 1) - (2x³ + 6x + 7)

Distribute the negative:

-8x³ + 1 - 2x³ - 6x - 7

Combine like terms, simplify:

-10x³ - 6x - 6

f(x) -g(x) is -10x³ - 6x - 6
