\(\left(x+y\right)\left(x+2y\right)\left(x+3y\right)\left(x+4y\right)+y^4\)
\(=\left[\left(x+y\right)\left(x+4y\right)\right]\left[\left(x+2y\right)\left(x+3y\right)\right]+y^4\)
\(=\left(x^2+5xy+4y^2\right)\left(x^2+5xy+6y^2\right)+y^4\)
\(=\left(x^2+5xy+5y^2-y^2\right)\left(x^2+5xy+5y^2+y^2\right)+y^4\)
\(=\left(x+5xy+5y^2\right)\left(x^2+5xy+5y^2\right)-y^4+y^4\)
\(=\left(x^2+5xy+5y^2\right)^2\)
