Answer:
(4)/(x^(14) y^(8))

Explanation:

We have the following expression:


((2^(-3) x^(-3) y^(2))/(4^(-2) x^(4) y^(6)))^(2)

First, we have to solve what is inside the parenthesis, taking into account the addition and substraction of exponents with the same base:


((4^(2) y^(2))/(2^(3)x^(4) x^(3) y^(6)))^(2)


((16)/(8 x^(7) y^(4) ))^(2)=((2)/(x^(7) y^(4) ))^(2)

Finally:


(4)/(x^(14) y^(8))
