I have a polynomial $p_a(x,y)= x^2F(a)+y^2G(a)-xH(a)-I(a)$ where $F(a)$, $G(a)$, $H(a)$ and $I(a)$ some real fuctions of $a$ are. Which conditions must satisfy $a$ so that I can factorize the polynomial $p_a(x,y)$ in lineal real factors?

Isn't it impossible to have bring out linear factors in $y$ here without having a mixed $xy$ term? – Alexander Gruber♦ Jan 4 at 22:18
I fear you are right – Pablo Elias Jan 7 at 10:31
