I am beat up by this surd expansion thing.
⁴√4st²(⁴√2s⁵t² + ⁴√s⁹t²)
The first steps are to pull all perfect 4th radicals from out of under the radical.
Examine ⁴√4st² and note that there's no perfect 4th radicals.
Next examine ⁴√2s⁵t² and notice that s⁵ is the same thing as s(⁴+¹) so s⁴ is a perfect 4th radical which can be pulled out:
s⁴√2st²
Next examine ⁴√s⁹t and note that s⁹ is the same thing as s(⁴+⁴+¹) so s² can be pulled out:
s² ⁴√st²
This becomes:
= ⁴√4st²(s ⁴√2st² + s² ⁴√st²)
Multiply the terms:
= (s ⁴√8s²t⁴) + (s² ⁴√4st² * ⁴√st²)
Continue pulling out perfect 4th roots as they are found:
= (st) ⁴√8s² + (s² ⁴√4st² * ⁴√st²)
Multiply terms again:
= st ⁴√8s² + (s² ⁴√4s²t⁴)
The t⁴ is a perfect 4th so it can be pulled out from under the radical:
= st ⁴√8s² + (s²t ⁴√4s²)
= (st ⁴√8s²) + (s²t ⁴√4s²)
