Answer: y^2 - 6

Explanation:

We are given the statement which is:

The square of y decreased by the quotient of 36 and 6

We need to get the mathematical expression for the question.

Power 2 is used for square and

The sign "/" is used for quotient or division.

The sign "-" is used to subtract or decrease.

Using the sign above,

Square of y = y^2

Quotient of 36 and 6 = 36/6

The square of y decreased by the quotient of 36 and 6 = y^2 - 36/6

= y^2 - 6

Therefore, the required expression is:

y^2 - 6
