#x^3+5x^2+16x-3#

Explanation:

#f(x)=8x^2+16x+6#

#g(x)=x^3-3x^2-9#

#(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)#

Add the two functions together:

#f(x)+g(x)=(8x^2+16x+6)+(x^3-3x^2-9)#

#color(white)(888888888.8)=8x^2+16x+6+x^3-3x^2-9#

#color(white)(888888888.8)=5x^2+16x+x^3-3#

#color(white)(888888888.8)=x^3+5x^2+16x-3#
