Answer

$30a^{2}b^{4}$

Work Step by Step

$\sqrt{18a^{3}b}\sqrt{50ab^{7}}=\qquad$... apply $\sqrt{x}\cdot\sqrt{y}=\sqrt{xy}$ $=\sqrt{18\cdot 50\cdot a^{3}\cdot a\cdot b\cdot b^{7}}\qquad$ ... apply $a^{m}a^{n}=a^{m+n}$ $=\sqrt{9\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 25\cdot a^{4}b^{8}}\qquad$ ... express $a^{2n}$ as $(a^{n})^{2}$ $=\sqrt{3^{2}\cdot 2^{2}\cdot 5^{2}\cdot(a^{2})^{2}(b^{4})^{2}}\qquad $.... apply $\sqrt{x}\cdot\sqrt{y}=\sqrt{xy} $and $\sqrt{x^{2}}=|x|$ $=3\cdot 2\cdot 5\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{4}$ $=30a^{2}b^{4}$
