To simplify the radical expression, we need to simplify each term under the radical separately.

The first term under the radical is \(8x^7y^4\). We can split this term into two separate radicals: \(\sqrt{x^7y^4} = \sqrt{x^6}\sqrt{xy^4} = x^3y^2\sqrt{xy^4}\).

The entire expression then becomes \(\sqrt{x^3y^2\sqrt{xy^4}}\).

Next, we simplify the second term under the radical which is \(\frac{3x^7}{y}\). We can write it as \(\frac{3x^6}{y} \cdot x\).

Now, the expression becomes \(\sqrt{x^3y^2\sqrt{xy^4}} \cdot \frac{3x^6}{y} \cdot x\).

Finally, we can simplify this further by combining like terms and rearranging the expression as desired.
