\(\dfrac{1}{3}x^8+\dfrac{1}{4}x^2y+\dfrac{1}{6}xy^2+\dfrac{1}{27}y^3\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)^3+3\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)^2\cdot\dfrac{1}{3}y+3\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}x\cdot\dfrac{1}{9}y^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{3}y\right)^3\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{3}y\right)^3\)
\(=\left(-4+2\right)^3=-8\)
