Answer

$y^2\sqrt{x}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For any non-negative real number, $\sqrt{a^2} = a$ Factor the radicand (which is the expression inside the radical sign) so that at least one factor is a square, and then simplify using the rule above to obtain: $=\sqrt{(y^4)(x)} \\=\sqrt{(y^2)^2(x)} \\=y^2\sqrt{x}$
