Answer

$6x\sqrt{x}$

Work Step by Step

Use the rule $\sqrt[n]{a} \cdot \sqrt[n]{b}=\sqrt[n]{a\cdot b},\quad a,b>0$ to obtain:. $\sqrt{3x^2}\sqrt{12x}=\sqrt{3x^2\cdot 12x}$ Simplify. $=\sqrt{36x^2x}$ Use $36=6^2$. $=\sqrt{6^2x^2x}$ Separate using the rule $\sqrt[n]{a\cdot b}=\sqrt[n]{a} \cdot \sqrt[n]{b}, a,b>0$ to obtain:. $=\sqrt{6^2x^2}\sqrt{x}$ Simplify. $=6x\sqrt{x}$ Hence, the correct answer is $6x\sqrt{x}$.
