Answer

$ \frac{a}{2}\sqrt{\frac{5 a b}{x}} $

Work Step by Step

Given\begin{equation} \sqrt{\frac{10 a^3 b}{8 x}}. \end{equation} Simplify. \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \sqrt{\frac{10 a^3 b}{8 x}}& =\sqrt{\frac{10 a^2\cdot a b}{4\cdot 2 x}} \\ & =\frac{a}{2}\sqrt{\frac{5 a b}{x}}. \end{aligned} \end{equation}
