Answer

$10x^2y^4z$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} \sqrt{100 x^4 y^8 z^2}. \end{equation} Write the radicand as a power of $2$ and take the square root. \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \sqrt{100 x^4 y^8 z^2}&=\sqrt{10^2 (x^2)^2 (y^4)^2 z^2}\\ &=\sqrt{(10x^2y^4z)^2}\\ &= 10x^2y^4z. \end{aligned} \end{equation} Hence $$\sqrt{100 x^4 y^8 z^2}= 10x^2y^4z.$$
