Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{2y}{\sqrt{x}}$

Work Step by Step

Simplify the radicand by finding as many squared factors as possible: $4=2^{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{x}{x^{2}}=\frac{1}{x}$ $\displaystyle \frac{y^{3}}{y}=y^{3-1}=y^{2}$ $\sqrt{\frac{4xy^{3}}{x^{2}y}}=\sqrt{2^{2}\cdot y^{2}\cdot\frac{1}{x}}$ ... Radical of a product: $=\sqrt{2^{2}}\cdot\sqrt{y^{2}}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{1}{x}}$ ... for even n, $\sqrt[n]{x^{n}}=|x|$, $=|2|\cdot|y|\sqrt{\frac{1}{x}}$ ...$ y$ is positive, $\quad \displaystyle \sqrt{\frac{1}{x}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{2y}{\sqrt{x}}$
