1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to divide the polynomial 9b412b3b29b^4 - 12b^3 - b^2 by the monomial 3b23b^2.

2. Solution Steps

We need to divide each term of the polynomial by 3b23b^2.
9b412b3b23b2=9b43b212b33b2b23b2\frac{9b^4 - 12b^3 - b^2}{3b^2} = \frac{9b^4}{3b^2} - \frac{12b^3}{3b^2} - \frac{b^2}{3b^2}
Now we simplify each term:
9b43b2=93b4b2=3b42=3b2\frac{9b^4}{3b^2} = \frac{9}{3} \cdot \frac{b^4}{b^2} = 3b^{4-2} = 3b^2
12b33b2=123b3b2=4b32=4b\frac{12b^3}{3b^2} = \frac{12}{3} \cdot \frac{b^3}{b^2} = 4b^{3-2} = 4b
b23b2=13b2b2=131=13\frac{b^2}{3b^2} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{b^2}{b^2} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1 = \frac{1}{3}
Putting these together, we get:
3b24b133b^2 - 4b - \frac{1}{3}

3. Final Answer

3b24b133b^2 - 4b - \frac{1}{3}
