Once a bit of practice is gained in this you will not need to write it out in such detail. You will jump steps.

2x^3y^2sqrt(xy)2x3y2xy

Explanation:

You look for squared values within the root. You can 'take these outside' the root as single values.

Example: sqrt(8)=sqrt(2^2xx2)=2sqrt(2)8=22×2=22

So we write the given as:

2sqrt(x^2xx x^2 xxx^2 xx x xx y^2xxy^2xxy) 2x2×x2×x2×x×y2×y2×y

2xx x xx x xx x xxyxxysqrt(xy)2×x×x×x×y×yxy

2x^3y^2sqrt(xy)2x3y2xy
