Answer:

C.
3x^2y√(2y).

Explanation:

The given radical expression is
√(18x^4y^3).

We can rewrite this radical expression to obtain;


√(2*9 * (x^2)^2* y^2* y).

This will give us;


√(2y) * √(9(x^2)^2 y^2).


3x^2y√(2y).

The correct choice is C

Answer: OPTION C

Explanation:

By definition you know that:


\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a

and by the exponents properties you also know that:


a^n*a^m=a^((n+m))

Now, descompose 18 into its prime factors:

18=2*3*3=2*3²

Rewrite the expression and simplify (Keep on mind that:
√(x^4)=x^{((4)/(2))}=x^(2)). Then, you obtain:


√(2*3^2*x^4*y*y^2)=3x^2y√(2y)
