See a solution process below:

Explanation:

We can use this rule of radicals to multiply these two terms:

#sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b))#

#sqrt(color(red)(7x^5)) * sqrt(color(blue)(35x)) => sqrt(color(red)(7x^5) * color(blue)(35x)) => sqrt(245x^6)#

We can simplify this as:

#sqrt(245x^6) => sqrt(color(red)(49x^6) * color(blue)(5)) => sqrt(color(red)(49x^6)) * sqrt(color(blue)(5)) => 7x^3sqrt(5)#
