If x and y are both positive then \(\sqrt{72x^3y^16} =\)


A. \(8xy^8\sqrt{2x}\)

B. \(6xy^4\sqrt{2x}\)

C. \(6xy^8\sqrt{2x}\)

D. \(6y^4\sqrt{8x}\)

E. \(9xy^8\sqrt{8x}\)

Dear Moderator,
There seems to be a small typo in the above question, for Y to be taken out of the square root as available in the answer choices , Y should have been raised to an even power in the question. Hope you will look into this. Thank you.

Fixed that. As always, thank you for noticing.

72x3y16 = 2x(6^2)(x^2)(y^8)^2

√72x3y16 = 6xy^8√2x

Hence C
