Factor -x^2-2*x-3 squared
The solution
The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\left(- x^{2} - 2 x\right) - 3$$
To do this, let's use the formula
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = a \left(m + x\right)^{2} + n$$
where
$$m = \frac{b}{2 a}$$
$$n = \frac{4 a c - b^{2}}{4 a}$$
In this case
$$a = -1$$
$$b = -2$$
$$c = -3$$
Then
$$m = 1$$
$$n = -2$$
So,
$$- \left(x + 1\right)^{2} - 2$$
$$\left(- x^{2} - 2 x\right) - 3$$
To do this, let's use the formula
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = a \left(m + x\right)^{2} + n$$
where
$$m = \frac{b}{2 a}$$
$$n = \frac{4 a c - b^{2}}{4 a}$$
In this case
$$a = -1$$
$$b = -2$$
$$c = -3$$
Then
$$m = 1$$
$$n = -2$$
So,
$$- \left(x + 1\right)^{2} - 2$$
