Answer

So, the final answer is \((-6)^{3}=\boxed{-216}\) and \(-(2)^{4}=\boxed{-16}\).

Steps

Step 1 ：Given the expressions \((-6)^{3}\) and \(-(2)^{4}\), we need to evaluate them.

Step 2 ：First, we calculate \((-6)^{3}\). This means -6 is multiplied by itself 3 times.

Step 3 ：Next, we calculate \(-(2)^{4}\). This means -1 times the result of 2 multiplied by itself 4 times.

Step 4 ：By calculating, we find that \((-6)^{3} = -216\) and \(-(2)^{4} = -16\).

Step 5 ：So, the final answer is \((-6)^{3}=\boxed{-216}\) and \(-(2)^{4}=\boxed{-16}\).
