Answer

The value of $\left( g-f \right)\left( x \right)$ with the functions $f\left( x \right)={{x}^{2}}-x-4$ and $g\left( x \right)=2x-6$ is $-{{x}^{2}}+3x-2$.

Work Step by Step

The function $\left( g-f \right)\left( x \right)$ can also be defined as $g\left( x \right)-f\left( x \right).$ Therefore, $\begin{align} & \left( g-f \right)\left( x \right)=\left( 2x-6 \right)-\left( {{x}^{2}}-x-4 \right) \\ & =2x-6-{{x}^{2}}+x+4 \\ & =-{{x}^{2}}+3x-2 \end{align}$ Hence, $\left( g-f \right)\left( x \right)=-{{x}^{2}}+3x-2$. Hence, the value of $\left( g-f \right)\left( x \right)$ with the functions $f\left( x \right)={{x}^{2}}-x-4$ and $g\left( x \right)=2x-6$ is $-{{x}^{2}}+3x-2$. .
