Solution

It seems like you are trying to check if (23)2\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 equals 2. Let's go through the steps.

First, calculate (23)2\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2:

(23)2=23×23=2×23×3=49\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 3} = \frac{4}{9}

So, (23)2=49\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{9}, which is not equal to 2.

Answer: No, (23)2\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 is not equal to 2.
