Answer

$b^6 + 6 b^5 c + 15 b^4 c^2 + 20 b^3 c^3 + 15 b^2 c^4 + 6 b c^5 + c^6$

Work Step by Step

Using the Binomial Formula, the expression $ (b+c)^6 $ expands to \begin{array}{l} b^6c^0+ \dfrac{6}{1!}b^5c^1+ \dfrac{6\cdot5}{2!}b^4c^2+ \dfrac{6\cdot5\cdot4}{3!}b^3c^3+ \dfrac{6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3}{4!}b^2c^4+\\ \dfrac{6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}{5!}b^1c^4+ \dfrac{6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{6!}b^0c^6 \\\\\\= b^6 + 6 b^5 c + 15 b^4 c^2 + 20 b^3 c^3 + 15 b^2 c^4 + 6 b c^5 + c^6 \end{array}
