Hi,
Notice that the expression can be re-written as the following:
(4 / 2) (x^2 / x^9)
Now, 4/2 is 2.
But, x^2 divided by x^9 means that we need to subtract the powers. 2-9=-7 therefore the power on x is -7.
To finish off the problem, we put negative exponents in the denominator which makes them become positive exponents. Therefore, your final answer will be:
2 / (x^7) <==== FINAL ANSWER
I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Andrew

4x^2 / 2x^9
= 4x^2 / (2x^2 * x^7)
=2 / x^7
