Step 1.1

Rewrite $81$ as $3^{4}$ .

$\sqrt[4]{3^{4} x^{8} y^{2}}$

Step 1.2

Rewrite $x^{8}$ as ${(x^{2})}^{4}$ .

$\sqrt[4]{3^{4} {(x^{2})}^{4} y^{2}}$

Step 1.3

Rewrite $3^{4} {(x^{2})}^{4}$ as ${(3 x^{2})}^{4}$ .

$\sqrt[4]{{(3 x^{2})}^{4} y^{2}}$

Step 2

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$3 x^{2} \sqrt[4]{y^{2}}$

Step 3

Rewrite $\sqrt[4]{y^{2}}$ as $\sqrt{\sqrt{y^{2}}}$ .

$3 x^{2} \sqrt{\sqrt{y^{2}}}$

Step 4

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$3 x^{2} \sqrt{y}$
