Answer:

2x³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression


\frac{\sqrt[]{12x^8}}{\sqrt[]{3x^2}}

Under the operation of division, we can combine the radicals as follows.


=\sqrt[]{(12x^8)/(3x^2)}

We then simplify:


\begin{gathered} =\sqrt[]{4x^(8-2)} \\ =\sqrt[]{4x^6} \end{gathered}

This can be further simplified to get:


\begin{gathered} =\sqrt[]{4}*\sqrt[]{x^6} \\ =2* x^{6*(1)/(2)} \\ =2x^3 \end{gathered}
