a, \(1-a\sqrt{a}\)
\(=\left[1-\left(\sqrt{a}\right)^3\right]\)
\(=\left(1-\sqrt{a}\right)\left[\left(\sqrt{a}\right)^2+1.\sqrt{a}+1^2\right]\)
\(=\left(1-\sqrt{a}\right)\left(a+\sqrt{a}+1\right)\)
b, \(x-2\sqrt{x-1}\)
\(=\left(x-1\right)-2\sqrt{x-1}+1\)
\(=\left[\left(\sqrt{x-1}\right)-1\right]^2\)
