Answer

$\dfrac{2x}{y}\sqrt[5]{\dfrac{x^2}{y}}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, the expression $ \dfrac{\sqrt[5]{64x^{9}y^{2}}}{\sqrt[5]{2x^2y^{-8}}} $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[5]{\dfrac{64x^{9}y^{2}}{2x^2y^{-8}}} \\\\= \sqrt[5]{32x^{9-2}y^{2-(8)}} \\\\= \sqrt[5]{32x^{7}y^{-6}} \\\\= \sqrt[5]{\dfrac{32x^{7}}{y^{6}}} \\\\= \sqrt[5]{\dfrac{32x^{5}}{y^{5}}\cdot \dfrac{x^2}{y}} \\\\= \dfrac{2x}{y}\sqrt[5]{\dfrac{x^2}{y}} .\end{array}
