Rewrite as a radical expression and simplify if possible. Assume all variables represent nonnegative real numbers.
-$\left(4 x^{4} y^{4}\right)^{1 / 2}$
A) $2 x^{4} y^{2}$
B) $2 x^{2} y$
C) $2 x^{2} y^{2}$
D) $x^{2} y^{2}$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression $\left(4 x^{4} y^{4}\right)^{1 / 2}$ simplifies to $2 x^{2} y^{2}$ because the square root of 4 is 2, and raising $x^4$ and $y^4$ to the $1/2$ power gives $x^2$ and $y^2$, respectively.
