Solution Steps

Step 1: Distribute the negative sign

First, distribute the negative sign to each term inside the second parentheses: (5x35x2+4x4)(9x38x2+4)=5x35x2+4x49x3+8x24. \left(5x^{3} - 5x^{2} + 4x - 4\right) - \left(9x^{3} - 8x^{2} + 4\right) = 5x^{3} - 5x^{2} + 4x - 4 - 9x^{3} + 8x^{2} - 4.

Step 2: Combine like terms

Next, combine like terms:

  • 5x39x3=4x35x^{3} - 9x^{3} = -4x^{3},
  • 5x2+8x2=3x2-5x^{2} + 8x^{2} = 3x^{2},
  • 4x4x remains as is,
  • 44=8-4 - 4 = -8.

So, the expression simplifies to: 4x3+3x2+4x8. -4x^{3} + 3x^{2} + 4x - 8.

Final Answer

The simplified expression is: 4x3+3x2+4x8. \boxed{-4x^{3} + 3x^{2} + 4x - 8}.
