1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\left(\frac{2^{\frac{1}{4}}}{14^{\frac{1}{4}}}\right)^{-3}$$.
2. **Recall the exponent rules:**
- For any $a > 0$, $\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^n = \frac{x^n}{y^n}$.
- For any $a \neq 0$, $\left(a^m\right)^n = a^{mn}$.
- Negative exponents mean reciprocal: $a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$.
3. **Apply the negative exponent:**
$$\left(\frac{2^{\frac{1}{4}}}{14^{\frac{1}{4}}}\right)^{-3} = \left(\frac{14^{\frac{1}{4}}}{2^{\frac{1}{4}}}\right)^3$$
4. **Rewrite the expression inside the parentheses:**
$$\left(\frac{14}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{4} \times 3} = 7^{\frac{3}{4}}$$
5. **Final simplified form:**
$$7^{\frac{3}{4}}$$
This is the simplified expression.
