Answer:

Explanation:

I am assuming you want to factor these functions

G= -x^2 - 2xy - y^2

= -(x^2 + 2xy + y^2)

We need 2 terms whose product is y^2 and whose sum is +2xy

- they are + x and + y

= - (x + y)(x + y)

= -(x + y)^2

The other functions are worked out in the same way:

K = x^2 + 4y^2 + 4xy

= (x + 2y)(x + 2y)

= (x + 2y)^2

H = 4x^2 - 12xy + 9y^2

= (2x - 3y)^2

L= 25 - 10 + y^2

= (5 - y)^2

M = 10y^4 + 25x^6 +y^8

- this is prime (no factors)
