- y  - 7*y  - 15
$$\left(- y^{4} - 7 y^{2}\right) - 15$$
-y^4 - 7*y^2 - 15
General simplification [src]

-15 - y  - 7*y 
$$- y^{4} - 7 y^{2} - 15$$
-15 - y^4 - 7*y^2
The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\left(- y^{4} - 7 y^{2}\right) - 15$$
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
$$a = -1$$
$$b = -7$$
$$c = -15$$
Then
$$m = \frac{7}{2}$$
$$n = - \frac{11}{4}$$
So,
$$- \left(y^{2} + \frac{7}{2}\right)^{2} - \frac{11}{4}$$
