No, becasue of PEMDAS
so parenthasees first
exponents next
mulitplciation next

(-2)^4=-2 times -2 times -2 times -2=positive number since even number of negative signs

-2^4=-1 times 2^2=-1 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2=negative number since odd number of negative signs

They are not equivalent. 
because (-2)^4 is in the parenthesis so the - before 2 are together and both will go to the 4 power so the answer will be: (-2)^4 = 16 
but the other one is not in the parenthesis so the - will not go to the 4 power and the answer will be: -2^4 = -16 
so 16 is not equivalent to -16 :)))
i hope this is helpful 
have a nice day

Elodia [21]
8 printers for $145 each is a total of $1160.

3 laptops for $439 is a total of $1317.

Therefore, the price of 3 laptops for $439 each cost more than 8 printers for $145 each.
