y  + 5*y  - 9
$$\left(y^{4} + 5 y^{2}\right) - 9$$
y^4 + 5*y^2 - 9
The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\left(y^{4} + 5 y^{2}\right) - 9$$
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
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 5$$
$$c = -9$$
Then
$$m = \frac{5}{2}$$
$$n = - \frac{61}{4}$$
So,
$$\left(y^{2} + \frac{5}{2}\right)^{2} - \frac{61}{4}$$
