Final answer:

We simplified the expression by factoring out perfect squares from the radicals, combining like terms, and simplifying the coefficients, resulting in the final simplified product: 12√20 x⁵⁹ - 4√10x².

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked to simplify the following algebraic expression:

2√8x³(3√ 10x⁴-x √5x²)

First, we can simplify the radicals and factor out any perfect squares:

Now, let's apply these simplifications to the expression:

2 ⋅ 2√2 ⋅ x²⋅½ (3√10x⁴ - x ⋅ √5 ⋅ x)

Multiplying through the parentheses gives us:

4√2x²⋅½ ⋅ 3√10x⁴ - 4√2x²⋅½ ⋅ x√5x

Rewriting the expressions in terms of exponents:

12√2√10 x³∙¾ - 4√2√5 x³∙½⋅½

Finally, simplifying the coefficients and combining like terms:

12√20 x⁵⁹ - 4√10x²

Which is the simplified product.
