Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{f(x)-g(x)=x^2-4x+13}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]f(x)=2x^2-4x-3\\\\g(x)=(x-4)(x+4)=x^2-4^2=x^2-16\qquad\text{used}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\f(x)-g(x)=(2x^2-4x-3)-(x^2-16)\\\\=2x^2-4x-3-x^2-(-16)\\\\=2x^2-4x-3-x^2+16\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(2x^2-x^2)-4x+(-3+16)\\\\=x^2-4x+13[/tex]
