sqrt%2832x%5E7y%5E2%29

First, make two square roots, find all perfect square factors, and put them in the first radical sign. Put all the "left-over" factors in the second radical:
sqrt%2816%2Ax%5E6%2Ay%5E2%29%2Asqrt%282x%29+

Take the square root of the first radical, and leave the second in the radical:
4x%5E3+%2Ay+%2A+sqrt%282x%29+

For additional help with square roots, I have a lesson plan that I need to post on algebra.com the first chance that I get. For now, you can find it on my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, then go to "Basic Algebra", then "Samples from "Basic Algebra:One Step at at Time," the "Chapter 5", and then "Section 5.01". That explains the whole concept from the beginning with explanation, examples, exercises, and answers--ALL FREE!
