Answer

$3x^2y^4\sqrt{2x}$

Work Step by Step

Getting the factors that are perfect roots of the index, the given expression, $ \sqrt{18x^5y^8} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \sqrt{9x^4y^8\cdot2x} \\\\= \sqrt{(3x^2y^4)^2\cdot2x} \\\\= 3x^2y^4\sqrt{2x} .\end{array} Note that the variables are assumed to contain positive real numbers.
