What you do is take the square root of each term individually.
32=16*2. sqrt%2816%29=4, so sqrt%2832%29=4sqrt%282%29
sqrt%28x%5E5%29 can be expressed as %28x%5E5%29%5E%281%2F2%29
By multiplying the exponents we end up with x%5E2.5
Using the same methods we get %28y%5E10%29%5E%281%2F2%29 which is simplified to y%5E5
The end result is:
4sqrt%282%29x%5E2.5y%5E5%29
