See a solution process below:

We can use this rule for quadratics to find the product of the term in the problem:

$(color(red)(x) + color(blue)(y))^2 = color(red)(x)^2 + 2color(red)(x)color(blue)(y) + color(blue)(y)^2$

Substituting $c$ for $color(red)(x)$ and $6$ for $color(blue)(y)$ gives:

$(color(red)(c) + color(blue)(6))^2 => color(red)(c)^2 + (2 * color(red)(c) * color(blue)(6)) + color(blue)(6)^2 => c^2 + 12c + 36$

How do you find the product of (c+6)^2(c+6)^2?
