Answer

The limit is $$\lim_{(x,y)\to(a,b)}(f(x,y)-g(x,y)) = 1.$$

Work Step by Step

It is given that $$\lim_{(x,y)\to(a,b)}f(x,y)=4,\quad \lim_{(x,y)\to(a,b)}g(x,y)=3.$$ To get the required limit we will use the rule the limit of the sum/difference of two functions is sum/difference of limits: $$\lim_{(x,y)\to(a,b)}(f(x,y)-g(x,y)) = \lim_{(x,y)\to(a,b)}f(x,y)-\lim_{(x,y)\to(a,b)}g(x,y) \\=4-3 = 1. $$
