Answer: x^2+36

Explanation:

since x-6 are both in parenthesis under the 2 exponent, you have to square both numbers. x squared is x^2, and -6 squared is 36.

Answer:
x^(2) - 12x +36

Explanation:

We understand that
(x-6)^2 is equal to
(x-6)(x-6)

With this knowledge, we utilize the FOIL method (first, outside, inside, last) to expand the expression

1. To start, multiply the first terms in each bracket

(x - 6)(x - 6)

2. Next, we multiply the two outside terms

(x - 6)(x - 6)

3. Then, we multiply the two inside terms

(x - 6)(x - 6)

4. Finally, we multiply the last terms in each bracket

(x - 6)(x - 6)

When we apply this to our expression to expand, we get


x^(2) -12x +36

Hope this helps!!
