Answer:
maximum difference is 38 at x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
This is nicely solved by a graphing calculator, which can plot the difference between the functions. The attached shows the maximum difference on the given interval is 38 at x = -3.

Ordinarily, the distance between curves is measured vertically. Here that means you're interested in finding the stationary points of the difference between the functions, along with that difference at the ends of the interval. The maximum difference magnitude is what you're interested in.
h(x) = g(x) -f(x) = (2x³ +5x² -15x) -(x³ +3x² -2) = x³ +2x² -15x +2
Then the derivative is ...
h'(x) = 3x² +4x -15 = (x +3)(3x -5)
This has zeros (stationary points) at x = -3 and x = 5/3. The values of h(x) of concern are those at x=-5, -3, 5/3, 3. These are shown in the attached table.
The maximum difference between f(x) and g(x) is 38 at x = -3.
For this case we have the following expression:
For simplicity we follow the steps:
We apply distributive property to the terms within the parenthesis, bearing in mind that:
We add similar terms taking into account that equal signs are added and the same sign is placed, while different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.
