The expression 4^2/3 can be written in a radical form as:


\sqrt[3]{4^2}

in which if we apply the exponent to its base 4, the equation will become:


\sqrt[3]{16}

So, Option 3 is equivalent to the expression.

Let's take a look at other expressions.


(\sqrt[3]{4})^2\Rightarrow(4^{(1)/(3)})^2\Rightarrow4^{(2)/(3)}

Option 4 is also equivalent to the expression.

For Option 2,


0.25^{-(2)/(3)}\Rightarrow((1)/(4))^{-(2)/(3)}

To make the exponent positive, we take the reciprocal of 1/4 and that is 4. Hence,


((1)/(4))^{-(2)/(3)}\Rightarrow4^{(2)/(3)}

Option 2 is also equivalent to the given expression.

Therefore, the expression that is NOT equivalent to 4^2/3 is Option 1.
