assuming you mean sqrt%288x%5E5y%29 then we get sqrt%288%29sqrt%28x%5E5%29sqrt%28y%29 which becomes

sqrt%284%2A2%29sqrt%28x%5E5%29sqrt%28y%29
sqrt%284%29sqrt%282%29sqrt%28x%5E5%29sqrt%28y%29
2sqrt%282%29sqrt%28x%5E5%29sqrt%28y%29

this is rather untidy, so write it as 2sqrt%282x%5E5y%29

I just split everything into separate square roots so you could see the process...but it was only the 8 that we could really do anything with.

Again, Jon's answer should be simplified further, giving YOUR answer:
2sqrt%282x%5E5y%29
2+sqrt%28x%5E4%29+%2Asqrt%282xy%29+
2x%5E2+%2A+sqrt%282xy%29
