-8x^6y^128x6y12

Explanation:

(-2)^3=-8(2)3=8

(x^2)^3=x^(2 xx3)=x^6(x2)3=x2×3=x6

(y^4)^3=y^12(y4)3=y12

-8x^6y^128x6y12

Explanation:

(abc)^3 = a^3b^3c^3(abc)3=a3b3c3 ,
so (-2x^2y^4)^3=(-2)^3(x^2)^3(y^4)^3(2x2y4)3=(2)3(x2)3(y4)3 ,

and because (a^b)^c=a^(bc)(ab)c=abc,

(-2)^3(x^2)^3(y^4)^3=-8x^6y^12(2)3(x2)3(y4)3=8x6y12 .
