Dear student
x^4( x^4 +2 x^2 +1)
x^4 ( -x)*(-x)
x^6
But given is x^2 = -1-x
x^6 = -(1+x)^3
-x^3 -1-3x(1+x)
-x^3 -1 + 3x^3
2x^3 -1
2(-x-x^2) -1
-2x-2x^2 -1
-2x^2 + 2x^2 = 0

Dear student
it can be written as x^8 + x^6 + x^6 + x^4
x^6 (x^2 + 1) + x^4 (x^2 + 1)
x^4 ( x^2 + 1) (x^2 + 1)
= x^4 ( -x) (-x)
= x^6
