\frac{4}{4}-\frac{x^{2}}{4}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 1 times \frac{4}{4}.
\frac{4-x^{2}}{4}
Since \frac{4}{4} and \frac{x^{2}}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{4-x^{2}}{4}
Factor out \frac{1}{4}.
\left(2-x\right)\left(2+x\right)
Consider 4-x^{2}. Rewrite 4-x^{2} as 2^{2}-x^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
\left(-x+2\right)\left(x+2\right)
Reorder the terms.
\frac{\left(-x+2\right)\left(x+2\right)}{4}
Rewrite the complete factored expression.
