False.

Let's analyze the expression step by step. The expression (23)3 should be simplified as follows:

  1. Use the power of a power property: (am)n=amn. (23)3=23(3)=29

  2. Rewrite 29 using the negative exponent rule: an=1an. 29=129

  3. Calculate 29=512. 29=1512

Therefore, the correct simplified form is 29=1512, and the work shown in the question is incorrect. Thus, the answer is False.
