Question 42 • Algebra II

Which expression is equivalent to square root of 8 x to the 7th power y to the 8th power end root ? Assume x is greater than or equal to 0

Answer
A
2 x squared y squared square root of x y squared end root
B
x y squared square root of 8 x cubed end root
C
4 x cubed y to the 4th power square root of x
D
2 x cubed y to the 4th power square root of 2 x

Explanation

Factor out the largest perfect squares: 8x⁷y⁸ = 4·x⁶·y⁸·2x. Taking the square root gives 2x³y⁴√(2x); the assumption x ≥ 0 lets us write √(x⁶) as x³. This matches choice D, 2x³y⁴√(2x).
