The answer is the fourth root of 2.

2 to the 3 over 4 power is
2^{ (3)/(4) }
2 to the 1 over 2 power is
2^{ (1)/(2) }
2 to the 3 over 4 power, all over 2 to the 1 over 2 power is
\frac{2^{ (3)/(4) } }{2^{ (1)/(2) }}

So, use the rule:
(x^(a) )/( x^(b) ) = x^(a-b)

\frac{2^{ (3)/(4) } }{2^{ (1)/(2) }} = 2^{(3)/(4)- (1)/(2)}= 2^{(3)/(4)- (1*2)/(2*2)}= 2^{(3)/(4)- (2)/(4)}= 2^{ (3-2)/(4) } = 2^{ (1)/(4) }

Now, use the rule:
a^{ (m)/(n)} = \sqrt[n]{ x^(m) }

2^{ (1)/(4) } = \sqrt[4]{ 2^(1) }= \sqrt[4]{2}
which is the same as the fourth root of 2.
