Answer

$2x^{2}y^{4}\sqrt[4] {2x^3y}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=\sqrt[4] {32x^{11}y^{17}}$ Factor the radicands as a power of $4$. $=\sqrt[4] {2^4\cdot 2x^{8}x^3y^{16}y^1}$ Group the power of $4$ radicands. $=\sqrt[4] {(2^4x^{8}y^{16})\cdot (2x^3y^1)}$ Factor into two radicals. $=\sqrt[4] {(2^4x^{8}y^{16})}\cdot \sqrt[4] {(2x^3y^1)}$ Simplify. $=2x^{2}y^{4}\sqrt[4] {2x^3y}$.
