Verify

Solution Steps

Calculate -8 to the power of 3 and get -512.

$$-512\times 8^{5}=\left(-1\right)^{1}\times 8^{1}$$

Calculate 8 to the power of 5 and get 32768.

$$-512\times 32768=\left(-1\right)^{1}\times 8^{1}$$

Multiply -512 and 32768 to get -16777216.

$$-16777216=\left(-1\right)^{1}\times 8^{1}$$

Calculate -1 to the power of 1 and get -1.

$$-16777216=-8^{1}$$

Calculate 8 to the power of 1 and get 8.

$$-16777216=-8$$

Compare -16777216 and -8.

$$\text{false}$$
