Answer:


\huge\boxed{\bf\:(x + 2y)^(2) - 3}

Explanation:


x ^ { 2 } +4xy-3+4y ^ { 2 }

Rearrange the terms.


x ^ { 2 } +4xy+4y ^ { 2 } - 3

Here, x² + 4xy + 4y is in the form of the algebraic identity ⟶ x² + 2xy + y² = (x + y)². Then, here, x = 1 & y = 2y.


(x + 2y)^(2) - 3

Leave 3 as it is as 3 can't be further simplified. So, the final answer is:


\boxed{\bf\:(x + 2y)^(2) - 3}


\rule{150}{2}
