To determine whether the equation \( 3 - 5 \cdot (81 \sqrt{4})^{33 - 4} = 3 - 6 \) is true or false, we will simplify and calculate each side of the equation.

First, let's simplify the left side:

  1. Calculate \( 33 - 4 = 29 \), so we need to evaluate \( (81 \sqrt{4})^{29} \).
  2. We know \( \sqrt{4} = 2 \), thus \( 81 \sqrt{4} = 81 \cdot 2 = 162 \).
  3. Therefore, \( (81 \sqrt{4})^{29} = (162)^{29} \).
  4. Now multiply by -5: \( -5 \cdot (162)^{29} \).

Now examining the right side:

  1. \( 3 - 6 = -3 \).

Now we rewrite the original expression:

  • Left Side: \( 3 - 5 \cdot (162)^{29} \)
  • Right Side: \( -3 \)

Now we can conclude:

  1. \( 3 - 5 \cdot (162)^{29} \) will be a very large negative number because \( (162)^{29} \) is a very large positive number, and multiplying it by -5 gives a large negative result when added to 3.
  2. The left side is much less than -3.

Since \( 3 - 5 \cdot (162)^{29} \) is not equal to -3, we find that the equation is false.

Therefore, the correct response is: False. There is an error in applying the Product Property.
