Answer

$12a^2b\sqrt {10}$

Work Step by Step

First, we have to make sure that the indices are the same, which they are, in this exercise. We now multiply the radicands and the coefficients: $4 • 3\sqrt {5a^3b • 2ab}$ Multiply the coefficients: $12\sqrt {5a^3b • 2ab}$ Multiply the radicands: $12\sqrt {10a^4b^2}$ Take the square roots of the factors in the radicand: $12 • a^2 • b\sqrt {10}$ Multiply coefficients together: $12a^2b\sqrt {10}$
