= \frac{2 3}{3}

= (\frac{3}{3})^{2} + (\frac{1}{2})^{2} - (\frac{2 3}{3})^{2}

Simplify

(\frac{3}{3})^{2} + (\frac{1}{2})^{2} - (\frac{2 3}{3})^{2} : - \frac{3}{4}

(\frac{3}{3})^{2} + (\frac{1}{2})^{2} - (\frac{2 3}{3})^{2}

(\frac{3}{3})^{2} = \frac{1}{3}

(\frac{3}{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( 3 ) ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}

(3)^{2} : 3

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

= \frac{3}{3 ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{1}{3}

(\frac{1}{2})^{2} = \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

(\frac{1}{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 ^{2}}{2 ^{2}}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

(\frac{2 3}{3})^{2} = \frac{2 ^{2}}{3}

(\frac{2 3}{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( 2 3 ) ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

(23)^{2} = 2^{2} (3)^{2}

= \frac{2 ^{2} ( 3 ) ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}

(3)^{2} : 3

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

= \frac{2 ^{2} \cdot 3}{3 ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{2 ^{2}}{3}

= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2 ^{2}} - \frac{2 ^{2}}{3}

Combine the fractions

\frac{1}{3} - \frac{2 ^{2}}{3} : - 1

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{1 - 2 ^{2}}{3}

1 - 2^{2} = - 3

1 - 2^{2}

2^{2} = 4

= 1 - 4

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 4 = - 3

= - 3

= \frac{- 3}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{3}{3}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

= - 1 + \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

2^{2} = 4

= - 1 + \frac{1}{4}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 \cdot 4}{4}

= - \frac{1 \cdot 4}{4} + \frac{1}{4}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{- 1 \cdot 4 + 1}{4}

- 1 \cdot 4 + 1 = - 3

- 1 \cdot 4 + 1

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 4 = 4

= - 4 + 1

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 4 + 1 = - 3

= - 3

= \frac{- 3}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{3}{4}

= - \frac{3}{4}
