Question

Find the absolute value of
$\left(a\right){(-8)}^3+{(-1)}^5$
$\left(b\right){(-1)}^3\times {(-5)}^2\times 3^3$

Answer 1

(a) $(-8{)}^3+(-1{)}^5=-512-1=-513$

Absolute value = $|-5/3|=5/3$

(b) $(-1{)}^3\times (-5{)}^2\times 3^3=(-1)\times 25\times 27$

= -675

Absolute value = $|-675|=675$
