What is the difference between the graph of #f(x)=sin(4x)# and that of #f(x)=sin(5x)cosx-cos(5x)sinx#?

They are same.

Explanation:

Graph of #f(x)=sin(4x)# is as follows:
graph{sin(4x) [-5, 5, -2.46, 2.54]}

Graph of #g(x)=sin(5x)cosx-cos(5x)sinx# is as follows:
graph{sin(5x)cosx-cos(5x)sinx [-5, 5, -2.46, 2.54]}

It is evident that the two are identical. The reason is that #sin(4x)=sin(5x)cosx-cos(5x)sinx#

This is as #sin(A-B)=sinAcosB-cosBsinA# and putting #A=5x# and #B=x# we get above result.
