Answer

The simplified result of the division is \(\boxed{-4 u^{3} z^{2}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Define the variables u and z.

Step 2 :Define the polynomial as -14 * u^6 * z + 12 * u^6 * z^4 and the monomial as -3 * u^3 * z^2.

Step 3 :Divide the polynomial by the monomial to get the result.

Step 4 :The result from the division is a tuple with two elements. The first element is the quotient of the division and the second element is the remainder.

Step 5 :In this case, the remainder is -14*u^6*z, which means that the division is not exact. However, the problem asks to simplify the answer as much as possible, so we should only consider the quotient, which is -4*u^3*z^2.

Step 6 :The simplified result of the division is \(\boxed{-4 u^{3} z^{2}}\).
