Step 1.1

Factor $4$ out of $8$ .

$2 y^{2} \sqrt{4 (2) x^{4} y^{4}}$

Step 1.2

Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

$2 y^{2} \sqrt{2^{2} \cdot 2 x^{4} y^{4}}$

Step 1.3

Rewrite $x^{4}$ as ${(x^{2})}^{2}$ .

$2 y^{2} \sqrt{2^{2} \cdot 2 {(x^{2})}^{2} y^{4}}$

Step 1.4

Rewrite $y^{4}$ as ${(y^{2})}^{2}$ .

$2 y^{2} \sqrt{2^{2} \cdot 2 {(x^{2})}^{2} {(y^{2})}^{2}}$

Step 1.5

Move $2$ .

$2 y^{2} \sqrt{2^{2} {(x^{2})}^{2} {(y^{2})}^{2} \cdot 2}$

Step 1.6

Rewrite $2^{2} {(x^{2})}^{2} {(y^{2})}^{2}$ as ${(2 x^{2} y^{2})}^{2}$ .

$2 y^{2} \sqrt{{(2 x^{2} y^{2})}^{2} \cdot 2}$

Step 2

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$2 y^{2} (2 x^{2} y^{2} \sqrt{2})$

Step 3

Multiply $y^{2}$ by $y^{2}$ by adding the exponents.
