(X^2+3)^2 - (x^2-1)^2

8(X^2+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

(X²+3)²-(X²-1)

(X²+3)(X²+3)-(X²-1)(X²-1)

X⁴+3X²+3X²+9-(X⁴-X²-X²+1)

X⁴+6X²+9-(X⁴-2X²+1)

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
