Answer

$y^{2}-\dfrac{3}{2}y+\dfrac{9}{16}$

Work Step by Step

$\Big(y-\dfrac{3}{4}\Big)^{2}$ Apply the formula for squaring a binomial, which is $(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$ Here, $a=y$ and $b=\dfrac{3}{4}$ $\Big(y-\dfrac{3}{4}\Big)^{2}=y^{2}-2(y)\Big(\dfrac{3}{4}\Big)+\Big(\dfrac{3}{4}\Big)^{2}=y^{2}-\dfrac{3}{2}y+\dfrac{9}{16}$
