16x^2+y^2
Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the coefficients are coming from the domain of rational numbers, then the expression cannot be factored (Irreducible quadratic). If the coefficients are from the domain of complex numbers, then the expression factors as (4x + iy)(4x - iy).
