Solution Steps

To simplify the expression \(-2(64)^{2/3}\), we need to evaluate the exponent first. The expression \(64^{2/3}\) can be interpreted as taking the cube root of 64 and then squaring the result. After finding this value, multiply it by -2 to get the final result.

Step 1: Calculate the Cube Root

We start by calculating the cube root of \(64\): \[ \sqrt[3]{64} = 4 \]

Step 2: Square the Result

Next, we square the result from Step 1: \[ 4^2 = 16 \]

Step 3: Multiply by -2

Finally, we multiply the squared value by \(-2\): \[ -2 \times 16 = -32 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{-32}\)
