sqrt%2836x%5E10+%2B+100x%5E8%29+=+sqrt%284x%5E8%289x%5E2+%2B+25%29%29

sqrt%2836x%5E10+%2B+100x%5E8%29+=+sqrt%284x%5E8%29%2Asqrt%289x%5E2+%2B+25%29

sqrt%2836x%5E10+%2B+100x%5E8%29+=+sqrt%28%282x%5E4%29%5E2%29%2Asqrt%289x%5E2+%2B+25%29

sqrt%2836x%5E10+%2B+100x%5E8%29+=+2x%5E4%2Asqrt%289x%5E2+%2B+25%29

which is the final answer
