sqrt(x)sqrt(x+2) = sqrt(x(x+2))

Explanation:

sqrt(a)sqrt(b) = sqrt(ab) when a and b are non-negative, which means you can join them under the same square root to sqrt(x)sqrt(x+2) = sqrt(x(x+2)), which is the simplest form.

Apart from expanding it to sqrt(x^2+2x), there's not much more to do with this expression.
