SOLUTION: simplify the expression: {sqrt(20x^3y^2)} you would factor to {sqrt(4*5x^3y^20} you could pull a 2x^2y out. Would the final answer be: 2x^2y*{sqrt(5)}

simplify the expression:
{sqrt(20x^3y^2)}
sqrt%2820x%5E3y%5E2%29
2xy%2Asqrt%285%29%29
note: inside the radical a term is squared. When you pull it out, it becomes the square root.
For example, x^4 inside the radical becomes x^2 when you pull it out.
