Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Below are the graphs of two functions, f(x) and g(x), defined on the domain 0≤x≤18:

If the graph of f(x) is the dashed orange line, and the graph of g(x) is the solid green line, what is the largest value of f(x)−g(x)?
Original LaTeX notation
Below are the graphs of two functions, $f(x)$ and $g(x)$, defined on the domain $0\le x\le 18$:

If the graph of $f(x)$ is the dashed orange line, and the graph of $g(x)$ is the solid green line, what is the largest value of $f(x)-g(x)$?
