Answer:

The answer to your question is 4x⁴ - 3x² + 1

Explanation:

Data

16x⁶ - 12x⁴ + 4x² ÷ 4x²

Process

-Separate the polynomial into three divisions

16x⁶/4x² - 12x⁴/4x² + 4x²/4x²

-Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponent of the denominator to the exponent of the numerator

4x⁶⁻² - 3x⁴⁻² + 1x²⁻²

-Simplify

4x⁴ - 3x² + 1
