$U^{2} - 12 U + 36$ $U^2 - 12U + 36$

To simplify and get into quadratic form you cross multiple the term in parenthesis by itself:

${(U - 6)}^{2} \to (U - 6) (U - 6) \to$ $(U - 6)^2 -> (U - 6)(U - 6) ->$

$(U \cdot U) - (6 \cdot U) - (6 \cdot U) + 36 \to$ $(U*U) - (6*U) - (6*U) + 36 ->$

$U^{2} - 12 U + 36$ $U^2 - 12U + 36$

How do you simplify (U−6)2(U-6)^2?
