i don't have any idea :(
any help?
thanks!

The expansion of a term with power 2/3 refers to the process of simplifying an expression that contains a term raised to the power of 2/3. This involves using mathematical rules and properties to rewrite the expression in a simpler form.
To expand a term with power 2/3, you can use the property of fractional exponents, which states that x^(a/b) is equal to the bth root of x raised to the a power. In other words, x^(2/3) is equal to the cube root of x squared. From there, you can use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression further.
The purpose of expanding a term with power 2/3 is to make the expression easier to work with and to allow for further simplification. It can also help in solving equations and understanding the behavior of functions.
Yes, you can expand a term with a negative power of 2/3. In this case, you would use the rule that x^(-n) is equal to 1/x^n. For example, (2x)^(-2/3) can be expanded to 1/(2x)^(2/3).
Yes, there are some restrictions on the variables when expanding a term with power 2/3. For example, the variable cannot have a negative value if it is inside a square root. Also, the variable cannot be equal to zero if it is in the denominator of a fraction. These restrictions are important to keep in mind to ensure that the expanded expression is valid.
