You asked:

Factor the expression: \(\displaystyle -4 - {x}^{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

Factorization over the real numbers:

\[- 4 \cdot \left(0.25 x^{2} + 1\right)\]

Factorization over the complex numbers:

\[- \left(x - 2 i\right) \left(x + 2 i\right)\]


\(i\) is the imaginary unit, defined as \(i^2 = -1\).
