Answer

$-80m^2n^2\sqrt{3m}+7mn^2\sqrt{3mn}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=5m^2n\sqrt{12mn^2}+7mn^2\sqrt{3mn}-10\sqrt{243m^5n^4}$ Factor each radicand as perfect square. $=5m^2n\sqrt{4\cdot 3mn^2}+7mn^2\sqrt{3mn}-10\sqrt{81\cdot 3m^4\cdot mn^4}$ Group the perfect square. $=5m^2n\sqrt{(4n^2)(3m)}+7mn^2\sqrt{3mn}-10\sqrt{(81m^4n^4)( 3 m)}$ Use product rule. $=5m^2n\sqrt{4n^2}\sqrt{3m}+7mn^2\sqrt{3mn}-10\sqrt{81m^4n^4}\sqrt{ 3 m}$ Take square root. $=5m^2n\cdot 2n\sqrt{3m}+7mn^2\sqrt{3mn}-10\cdot 9m^2n^2\sqrt{ 3 m}$ Simplify. $=10m^2n^2\sqrt{3m}+7mn^2\sqrt{3mn}- 90m^2n^2\sqrt{ 3 m}$ Factor out $m^2n^2\sqrt {3m}$ from the first and the last term. $=(10-90)m^2n^2\sqrt{3m}+7mn^2\sqrt{3mn}$ Simplify. $=-80m^2n^2\sqrt{3m}+7mn^2\sqrt{3mn}$.
