Answer

So, the final answers are: \(f(4)=\boxed{-16}\) and \(g(-3)=\boxed{-48}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The functions $f$ and $g$ are defined as follows: $f(x)=-5x+4$ and $g(x)=2x^3+6$.

Step 2 :To find the value of $f(4)$, we substitute $x=4$ into the function $f(x)=-5x+4$.

Step 3 :After substituting, we get $f(4)=-5(4)+4=-16$.

Step 4 :To find the value of $g(-3)$, we substitute $x=-3$ into the function $g(x)=2x^3+6$.

Step 5 :After substituting, we get $g(-3)=2(-3)^3+6=-48$.

Step 6 :So, the final answers are: \(f(4)=\boxed{-16}\) and \(g(-3)=\boxed{-48}\).
