Answer:

(1/2)(8x³ + x² - 6x + 12)

Explanation:

Next time, please share the possible answer choices. Thanks.

Multiplying all four terms of the given polynomial by 2 results in

x² - 6x + 8x³ + 12

Rearranging these terms in descending order by powers of x:

(1/2)(8x³ + x² - 6x + 12)

Note that we cannot just ignore that '2' in the denominator, because the given polynomial is an expression, not an equation.
