sqrt%28%283x%29%2F2%29

First split this up into a square root over a square root like this:
%28sqrt%283x%29%29%2F%28sqrt%282%29%29+

Next, you must rationalize the denominator by multiplying numerator and denominator by sqrt%282%29+:
%28%28sqrt%283x%29%29%2F%28sqrt%282%29%29+%29%2A%28%28sqrt%282%29%29%2F%28sqrt%282%29%29%29+

%28sqrt%286x%29%29%2F%28sqrt%284%29+%29+
%28sqrt%286x%29%29%2F2
