$4 x^{2} - 14 x + 49$

Step 1

Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

$\frac{2^{2} x^{2}}{1}$

Step 2

Move $2^{2}$ in $\frac{2^{2} x^{2}}{1}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{x^{2}}{2^{- 2}}$

Step 3

Move $x^{2}$ in $\frac{x^{2}}{2^{- 2}}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{1}{2^{- 2} x^{- 2}}$

Step 4

Move $x^{1}$ in $\frac{- 14 x}{1}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{- 14}{x^{- 1}}$

Step 5

Rewrite $49$ as $7^{2}$ .

$\frac{7^{2}}{1}$

Step 6

Move $7^{2}$ in $\frac{7^{2}}{1}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{1}{7^{- 2}}$

Step 7

Rewrite the expression with the negative exponents.

$\frac{1}{2^{- 2} x^{- 2}} + \frac{- 14}{x^{- 1}} + \frac{1}{7^{- 2}}$
