Answer 1

If you elevate any positive number to a positive exponent like in the case of those two numbers you will always get a number bigger than 1. Even more so if you multiply the results of these two numbers by each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

Student claim is correct.                      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A student claims that $8^3\cdot 8^5$  is greater than 1.

To find : Explain whether the student is correct or not ?

Solution :

We solve the expression that student claim,

$8^3\cdot 8^5$

Applying property of power, $a^b\cdot a^c=a^{b+c}$

$8^3\cdot 8^5=8^{8}$

$8^3\cdot 8^5=16777216$

As $16777216>1$

So, $8^3\cdot 8^5>1$

Student claim is correct.
