Step 1 :

            b²
 Simplify   ——
            2

Equation at the end of step 1 :

              b²
  ((((3•(a³))•——)•a)•b)^-2
              2 
 Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step 2 :

           b²
  (((3a³ • ——) • a) • b)^-2
           2

Step 3 :

Equation at the end of step 3 :

    3a³b²
  ((————— • a) • b)^-2
      2  
 Step  4  :
 4.1    a⁴ raised to the minus 2 nd power = a^{( 4 * -2 )} = a^-8

 4.2    b³ raised to the minus 2 nd power = b^{( 3 * -2 )} = b^-6

Final result :

  a^(-8)b^(-6) • 2² 
  ———————————————
      1 • 3²
