Need a slight clarification

For Statement (1), is it (x)^2/3 or is it (x/3)^2 or (x^2)/3?

I had the same question!

Math has precise notation. x^2/3 cannot mean x^(2/3), it can only mean \(\frac{x^2}{3}\). If it were \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}\), then it would have been written as x^(2/3).

Agree Bunuel but for better understanding of native users can the statement (1) be re-written as eswarchethu135 wrote.
