Question

simplify: $x^{\frac{1}{3}}\left(x^{\frac{1}{3}} + 2x^2\
ight)$
options: $x^{\frac{1}{}} + 2x^{\frac{1}{}}$ (formatting note: original options likely have exponents, e.g., $x^{\frac{2}{3}} + 2x^{\frac{7}{3}}$ etc. but ocr shows partial exponents)

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Distributive Property

Use the distributive property \(a(b + c)=ab+ac\) where \(a = x^{\frac{1}{3}}\), \(b=x^{\frac{1}{3}}\), and \(c = 2x^{2}\). So we get \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{1}{3}}+x^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot2x^{2}\).

Step2: Use Exponent Rule \(a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m + n}\)

For the first term: \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{1}{3}}=x^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}}=x^{\frac{2}{3}}\).
For the second term: \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot2x^{2}=2x^{\frac{1}{3}+2}=2x^{\frac{1 + 6}{3}}=2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\)? Wait, no, wait, maybe I misread the original problem. Wait, the original problem is \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{2})\)? Wait, no, looking at the options, maybe the exponent in the second term is different. Wait, maybe the original problem is \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{\frac{2}{3}})\)? Wait, no, the options have exponents. Wait, let's re - examine. Wait, the correct application: when multiplying \(x^{a}\) and \(x^{b}\), we add exponents. So if the first term is \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times x^{\frac{1}{3}}=x^{\frac{1 + 1}{3}}=x^{\frac{2}{3}}\), and the second term: if the second term inside is \(2x^{\frac{2}{3}}\), then \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times2x^{\frac{2}{3}}=2x^{\frac{1+2}{3}}=2x^{1}=2x\)? No, the options have \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\)? Wait, no, maybe the original problem is \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{\frac{2}{3}})\). Wait, no, the options are like \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\) no, looking at the options, one of the options is \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\)? Wait, no, the options shown: let's look at the exponents in the options. The first option: \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\)? No, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the original expression is \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{2})\). Wait, no, the exponent of \(x\) in the second term: if we have \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times x^{2}=x^{\frac{1}{3}+2}=x^{\frac{1 + 6}{3}}=x^{\frac{7}{3}}\), and the first term is \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}\). So the simplified form is \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\). But looking at the options, maybe the original problem was \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{\frac{2}{3}})\). Then \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times x^{\frac{1}{3}}=x^{\frac{2}{3}}\), and \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times2x^{\frac{2}{3}}=2x^{\frac{1 + 2}{3}}=2x^{1}=2x\)? No, the options don't have that. Wait, maybe the original problem is \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{\frac{2}{3}})\), and the correct simplification is \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{1 + 2}{3}}=x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{1}\)? No, the options have exponents. Wait, perhaps the original problem is \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{\frac{2}{3}})\), and the simplified form is \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\)? No, I think I misread the original problem. Wait, the user's image: the problem is \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{2})\)? No, the options are like \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\). Let's do the correct calculation:

Given \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{2})\)

First term: \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times x^{\frac{1}{3}}=x^{\frac{1 + 1}{3}}=x^{\frac{2}{3}}\)

Second term: \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times2x^{2}=2x^{\frac{1}{3}+2}=2x^{\frac{1+6}{3}}=2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\)

But the options: looking at the options, maybe the original problem was \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{\frac{2}{3}})\). Then:

First term: \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times x^{\frac{1}{3}}=x^{\frac{2}{3}}\)

Second term: \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times2x^{\frac{2}{3}}=2x^{\frac{1 + 2}{3}}=2x^{1}=2x\)? No, the options have \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\) or maybe the exponent in the second term is \(\frac{2}{3}\). Wait, maybe the original problem is \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{\frac{1}{3}}+2x^{\frac{2}{3}})\), then the second term is \(2x^{\frac{1 + 2}{3}}=2x^{1}\), but the options don't have that. Wait, perhaps I made a mistake in the problem statement. Wait, the options are:

First option: \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\) (assuming the exponents). Wait, let's check the exponent addition again. For \(a^m\times a^n=a^{m + n}\). So if we have \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times x^{\frac{1}{3}}=x^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}}=x^{\frac{2}{3}}\). For \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\times2x^{2}\), \(2 + \frac{1}{3}=\frac{6 + 1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}\), so \(2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\). So the simplified form is \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\). Now, looking at the options, we need to find which one matches. Let's assume that the correct option is the one with \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\) (depending on the options' exponents, but since the user's image has options, and after correct calculation, the simplified form is \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\)).

Answer:

The simplified form is \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\) (select the option that matches this expression, e.g., if one of the options is \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{7}{3}}\), that is the correct one).
