Pull out the common factor of
\cos^(-1/2)x\sin x:


\cos^(-1/2)x\sin x-\cos^(3/2)x\sin x=\cos^(-1/2)x\sin x(1-\cos^2x)

Recall that
1-\cos^2x=\sin^2x:


\cos^(-1/2)x\sin x-\cos^(3/2)x\sin x=(\sin^3x)/(√(\cos x))

Rationalize the denominator:


\cos^(-1/2)x\sin x-\cos^(3/2)x\sin x=(\sin^3x√(\cos x))/((√(\cos x))^2)=(\sin^3x√(\cos x))/(\cos x)
