Recognize that this is the same thing as:
%28x%5E%283%2F2%29-+2x%5E%285%2F2%29%29+%2A+%281%2F%28x%5E%281%2F2%29%29%29
%28x%5E%283%2F2%29-2x%5E%285%2F2%29%29%2A+x%5E%28-1%2F2%29 exponent wouldn't fit, but (3/2), (5/2), (-1/2) are exponents
%28x%5E%28%283%2F2%29+-+%281%2F2%29%29+-+2x%5E%28%285%2F2%29-%281%2F2%29%29%29 That's x^((3/2) - (1/2)) - 2x^((5/2)-(1/2))
x%5E%281%29+-+2x%5E2
highlight%28-2x%5E2+%2B+x%29
