------------------
Do you mean ?? I doubt that
I think you mean 4 times square of 2....

Multiply what's under the radical, if they're the same index

You can't multiply a sqrt times a cube root, tho.

(4 to the square root of 2)(3 to the square root of 2)
---------------
4^(1/2) * 3^(1/2)
---
= 2*3^(12)

I think you mean:
square root of 4 times the square root of 2?
let's talk a and b first.
the square root of a times the square root of b equals the square root of (a times b).
as an example:
the square root of 4 times the square root of 9 is equal to the square root of (4 times 9) which is equal to the square root of (36) which is equal to 6.
if you take the square roots separately first, you will get the same answer.
the square root of 4 is equal to 2.
the square root of 9 is equal to 3.
2 times 3 is equal to 6.
