Answer:

a-b

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference will usually be the first term subtracted by the second but it is the space/value between the numbers so technically you could just take the negative from b-a as -(b-a) and get the same value

(A) Product of -2x^{3}+x-5 and x^{3}-3x-4 is:

(-2x^{3}+x-5)(x^{3}-3x-4)

=-2x^{3}(x^{3}-3x-4)+x(x^{3}-3x-4)-5(x^{3}-3x-4)

=(-2x^{3})(x^{3})+(-2x^{3})(-3x)+(-2x^{3})(-4)+x(x^{3})+(x)(-3x)+(x)(-4)+(-5)(x^{3})+(-5)(-3x)+(-5)(-4)

=-2x^{6}+6x^{4}+8x^{3}+x^{4}-3x^{2}-4x-5x^{3}+15x+20

=-2x^{6}+6x^{4}+x^{4}+ 8x^{3}-5x^{3}-3x^{2}-4x+15x+20

=-2x^{6}+7x^{4}+3x^{3}-3x^{2}+11x+20

(B) Yes.

Product of -2x^{3}+x-5 and x^{3}-3x-4 = Product of x^{3}-3x-4 and -2x^{3}+x-5 because multiplication is commutative.

Commutative Property of multiplication says that a.b = b.a.

Thus, multiplication is same irrespective of the order of two numbers.
