To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the functions \( f(n) \) and \( g(n) \) at \( n = 1 \). Then, we subtract the result of \( g(1) \) from \( f(1) \).
Step 1: Evaluate \( f(1) \)
The function \( f(n) \) is given by:
\[ f(n) = 2n + 4 \]
Substituting \( n = 1 \):
\[ f(1) = 2(1) + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6 \]
Step 2: Evaluate \( g(1) \)
The function \( g(n) \) is given by:
\[ g(n) = n^3 - 4n^2 \]
Substituting \( n = 1 \):
\[ g(1) = 1^3 - 4(1)^2 = 1 - 4 = -3 \]
Step 3: Calculate \( f(1) - g(1) \)
Now, we find the difference:
\[ f(1) - g(1) = 6 - (-3) = 6 + 3 = 9 \]
