Answer

$m^6 - 24 m^5 + 240 m^4 - 1280 m^3 + 3840 m^2 - 6144 m + 4096$

Work Step by Step

Using the Binomial Formula, the expression $ (m-4)^6 $ expands to \begin{array}{l} m^6(-4)^0 \dfrac{6}{1!}m^5(-4)^1+ \dfrac{6\cdot5}{2!}m^4(-4)^2+ \dfrac{6\cdot5\cdot4}{3!}m^3(-4)^3+\\ \dfrac{6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3}{4!}m^2(-4)^4+ \dfrac{6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}{5!}m^1(-4)^5+\\ \dfrac{6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{6!}m^0(-4)^6 \\\\= m^6 - 24 m^5 + 240 m^4 - 1280 m^3 + 3840 m^2 - 6144 m + 4096 \end{array}
