-7 + y  - y 
$$- y^{4} + y^{2} - 7$$
-7 + y^2 - y^4
The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\left(- y^{4} + y^{2}\right) - 7$$
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
$$a = -1$$
$$b = 1$$
$$c = -7$$
Then
$$m = - \frac{1}{2}$$
$$n = - \frac{27}{4}$$
So,
$$- \left(y^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\right)^{2} - \frac{27}{4}$$
