Answer
$32\sqrt[3]{2}$
Work Step by Step
$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$
To simplify the given expression, $ \sqrt[3]{16(-2)^4(2)^8} ,$ use the laws of exponents to simplify the radicand.
$\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$
Since $(-2)^4=16$ and $2^8=256=16^2$ the expression above is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \sqrt[3]{16(16)(16)^2} .\end{array} Using the Product Rule of the laws of exponents which is given by $x^m\cdot x^n=x^{m+n},$ the expression above is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \sqrt[3]{16^{1+1+2}} \\\\= \sqrt[3]{16^{4}} \\\\=
\sqrt[3]{(2^4)^{4}}
.\end{array}
Using the Power Rule of the laws of exponents which is given by $\left( x^m \right)^p=x^{mp},$ the expression above is equivalent to
\begin{array}{l}\require{cancel}
\sqrt[3]{2^{4(4)}}
\\\\=
\sqrt[3]{2^{16}}
\\\\=
\sqrt[3]{2^{15}\cdot2^1}
\\\\=
\sqrt[3]{(2^{5})^3\cdot2}
\\\\=
2^{5}\sqrt[3]{2}
\\\\=
32\sqrt[3]{2}
.\end{array}
