To simplify the expression \( 8 - 5 \times 83 \):
1. Follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
- First, perform multiplication.
\[
5 \times 83 = 415
\]
2. Now, substitute back into the expression:
\[
8 - 415
\]
3. Perform the subtraction:
\[
8 - 415 = -407
\]
Now looking at the provided responses:
A: \( 1/8^8 \)
B: \( 1/8^2 \)
C: \( -8^{-15} \)
D: \( 8^{-15} \)
None of the options match \(-407\). Therefore, please check if the expression provided needs to be different or if there's more context to it. As it stands, \(-407\) is the simplified answer.
