$\sqrt[4]{\frac{a^{4}}{b^{8}}}$

Step 1

Rewrite $b^{8}$ as ${(b^{2})}^{4}$ .

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{a^{4}}{{(b^{2})}^{4}}}$

Step 2

Rewrite $\frac{a^{4}}{{(b^{2})}^{4}}$ as ${(\frac{a}{b^{2}})}^{4}$ .

$\sqrt[4]{{(\frac{a}{b^{2}})}^{4}}$

Step 3

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$| \frac{a}{b^{2}} |$

Step 4

Remove non-negative terms from the absolute value.

$\frac{| a |}{b^{2}}$
