Step 2.1

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{2 a}$ as ${(2 a)}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$4 {({(2 a)}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}$

Step 2.2

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$4 {(2 a)}^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}$

Step 2.3

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$4 {(2 a)}^{\frac{2}{2}}$
