Answer

$5xy\sqrt{2x}$.

Work Step by Step

Use the product rule $\sqrt A\cdot \sqrt B=\sqrt{AB}$. $\Rightarrow \sqrt{5xy}\cdot \sqrt{10x^2y}=\sqrt{5xy \cdot 10x^2y}$ Multiply. $\Rightarrow \sqrt{50x^{1+2}y^{1+1}}$ $\Rightarrow \sqrt{50x^{3}y^{2}}$ Group the perfect square. $\Rightarrow \sqrt{(5^2x^{2}y^{2})( 2x)}$ Factor into two radicals. $\Rightarrow \sqrt{(5^2x^{2}y^{2})}\sqrt{( 2x)}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 5xy\sqrt{2x}$.
