Answer:

[tex] e^x (x- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) (x+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression:

[tex] x^2 e^x - \frac{1}{2}e^x[/tex]

And we want to factorize this, the first step on this case would be taking common factor [tex] e^x[/tex] and we got this:

[tex] e^x (x^2 -\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

Now we can apply this case of factorization called difference of  perfect squares:

[tex] a^2 -b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)[/tex]

For this case [tex] a = x , b = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

And if we apply this we got:

[tex] e^x (x- \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})(1+ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})[/tex]

Now we can rationalize the expression with the square root on the denominator like this:

[tex] \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} * \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]

And if we replace this we got:

[tex] e^x (x- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) (x+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})[/tex]

And that would be our final expression.
