Answer:

$4(x-2)(x-1)^3(x+1)\sqrt{x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x(x-1)^{9/2}-8(x-1)^{7/2}=4(x-1)^{7/2}(x(x-1)^{2/2} -2)=4(x-1)^{7/2}(x^2-x-2)\\\\=4(x-1)^{7/2}(x-2)(x+1)=4(x-2)(x-1)^3(x+1)\sqrt{x-1}$

___

Among other things, the leading coefficient cannot be 2, as 4 is a factor of both the given terms.

Answer:

If the higher power is in the denominator, put the difference in the denominator and vice versa, this will help avoid negative exponents and a repeat of step 3. Step 6: Raise each coefficient (or number) to the appropriate power and then simplify or reduce any remaining fractions. Step 1: Apply the Zero-Exponent Rule.
