Answer

$4a^2|b|\sqrt[4]{2a}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, the expression $ \dfrac{2\sqrt[4]{32a^{8}b^{6}}}{\sqrt[4]{a^{-1}b^2}} $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} 2\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{32a^{8}b^{6}}{a^{-1}b^2}} \\\\= 2\sqrt[4]{32a^{8-(-1)}b^{6-2}} \\\\= 2\sqrt[4]{32a^{9}b^{4}} \\\\= 2\sqrt[4]{16a^{8}b^{4}\cdot2a} \\\\= 2\cdot2a^2|b|\sqrt[4]{2a} \\\\= 4a^2|b|\sqrt[4]{2a} .\end{array}
