Explanation:

Substitute #color(red)(2)# and #color(blue)(-14)# for #color(red)(x)# and #color(blue)(y)# in the expression and calculate the result:

#-(color(red)(x)^3color(blue)(y))^2# becomes:

#-(color(red)(2)^3 * color(blue)(-14))^2 =>#

#-(8 * color(blue)(-14))^2 =>#

#-(-112)^2 =>#

#-(12,544) =>#

#12,544#
