An expression to simplify:

The solution

   4      2    
- y  - 4*y  - 6
$$\left(- y^{4} - 4 y^{2}\right) - 6$$
-y^4 - 4*y^2 - 6
General simplification [src]
      4      2
-6 - y  - 4*y 
$$- y^{4} - 4 y^{2} - 6$$
-6 - y^4 - 4*y^2
The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\left(- y^{4} - 4 y^{2}\right) - 6$$
To do this, let's use the formula
$$a y^{4} + b y^{2} + c = a \left(m + y^{2}\right)^{2} + n$$
where
$$m = \frac{b}{2 a}$$
$$n = \frac{4 a c - b^{2}}{4 a}$$
In this case
$$a = -1$$
$$b = -4$$
$$c = -6$$
Then
$$m = 2$$
$$n = -2$$
So,
$$- \left(y^{2} + 2\right)^{2} - 2$$
