There you go my friend!
(41)/(5)-((11)/(9)*x^(3))
______________________________
Multiply (11)/(9) by x^(3) to get (11x^(3))/(9).
(41)/(5)-((11x^(3))/(9))

Multiply -1 by the (11x^(3))/(9) inside the parentheses.
(41)/(5)-(11x^(3))/(9)

Reorder the polynomial (41)/(5)-(11x^(3))/(9) alphabetically from left to right, starting with the highest order term.
-(11x^(3))/(9)+(41)/(5)
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
EDITED:
(4)^(0.2)-(1)^(0.11)*3
Multiply -1 by 3 to get -3.
(4)^(0.2)-3(1)^(0.11)
Expand the exponent (0.2) to the expression.
(4^(0.2))-3(1)^(0.11)
Raise 4 to the 0.2th power.
(1.32)-3(1)^(0.11)
Expand the exponent (0.11) to the expression.
(1.32)+(-3*1)
Multiply -3 by 1 to get -3.
(1.32)+(-3)
Remove the parentheses that are not needed from the expression.
1.32-3
Subtract 3 from 1.32 to get -1.68.
answer: -1.68
