3√(10)(y^2\sqrt4+√(8y))\\\\\text{Use distributive law: a(b+c)=ab+ac, and we know}\ \sqrt4=2\\\\=3√(10)\cdot2y^2+3√(10)\cdot√(8y)\\\\\text{Use}\ √(a\cdot b)=√(a)\cdot√(b)\\\\=6y^2√(10)+3√(10\cdot8y)=6y^2√(10)+3√(80y)=6y^2√(10)+3√(16\cdot5y)\\\\=6y^2√(10)+3√(16)\cdot√(5y)\\\\\text{we know}\ √(16)=4\\\\=6y^2√(10)+3\cdot4√(5y)=\boxed{6y^2√(10)+12√(5y)\to a.}
