Simplify square root of 2x^3y square root of 12xy

$\sqrt{2 x^{3} y} \sqrt{12 x y}$

Step 1

Rewrite $2 x^{3} y$ as $x^{2} \cdot (2 x y)$ .

Factor out $x^{2}$ .

$\sqrt{2 (x^{2} x) y} \sqrt{12 x y}$

Reorder $2$ and $x^{2}$ .

$\sqrt{x^{2} \cdot 2 x y} \sqrt{12 x y}$

Add parentheses.

$\sqrt{x^{2} \cdot 2 (x y)} \sqrt{12 x y}$

Add parentheses.

$\sqrt{x^{2} \cdot (2 x y)} \sqrt{12 x y}$

Step 2

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$x \sqrt{2 x y} \sqrt{12 x y}$

Step 3

Rewrite $12 x y$ as $2^{2} \cdot (3 x y)$ .

Factor $4$ out of $12$ .

$x \sqrt{2 x y} \sqrt{4 (3) x y}$

Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

$x \sqrt{2 x y} \sqrt{2^{2} \cdot 3 x y}$

Add parentheses.

$x \sqrt{2 x y} \sqrt{2^{2} \cdot 3 (x y)}$

Add parentheses.

$x \sqrt{2 x y} \sqrt{2^{2} \cdot (3 x y)}$

Step 4

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$x \sqrt{2 x y} (2 \sqrt{3 x y})$

Step 5

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$2 x \sqrt{2 x y} \sqrt{3 x y}$

Step 6

Multiply $2 x \sqrt{2 x y} \sqrt{3 x y}$ .

Combine using the product rule for radicals.

$2 x \sqrt{3 x y (2 x y)}$

Multiply $2$ by $3$ .

$2 x \sqrt{6 x y (x y)}$

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$2 x \sqrt{6 (x^{1} x) y \cdot y}$

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$2 x \sqrt{6 (x^{1} x^{1}) y \cdot y}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$2 x \sqrt{6 x^{1 + 1} y \cdot y}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$2 x \sqrt{6 x^{2} y \cdot y}$

Raise $y$ to the power of $1$ .

$2 x \sqrt{6 x^{2} (y^{1} y)}$

Raise $y$ to the power of $1$ .

$2 x \sqrt{6 x^{2} (y^{1} y^{1})}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$2 x \sqrt{6 x^{2} y^{1 + 1}}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$2 x \sqrt{6 x^{2} y^{2}}$

Step 7

Rewrite $6 x^{2} y^{2}$ as ${(x y)}^{2} \cdot 6$ .

Move $6$ .

$2 x \sqrt{x^{2} y^{2} \cdot 6}$

Rewrite $x^{2} y^{2}$ as ${(x y)}^{2}$ .

$2 x \sqrt{{(x y)}^{2} \cdot 6}$

Step 8

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$2 x (x y \sqrt{6})$

Step 9

Multiply $x$ by $x$ by adding the exponents.

Move $x$ .

$2 (x \cdot x) (y \sqrt{6})$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$2 x^{2} (y \sqrt{6})$

$2 x^{2} y \sqrt{6}$
