#sqrt(x^3y^5) = abs(x)y^2sqrt(xy)#

Explanation:

#sqrt(x^3y^5)#
#color(white)("XXXX")##=sqrt(x^3)*sqrt(y^5)#

#color(white)("XXXX")##=sqrt(x^2*x)*sqrt((y^2)^2*y)#

#color(white)("XXXX")##=sqrt(x^2)*sqrt(x)*sqrt((y^2)^2)*sqrt(y)#

#color(white)("XXXX")##=abs(x)sqrt(x)*y^2sqrt(y)#

#color(white)("XXXX")##=abs(x)y^2sqrt(xy)#
