Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

p(x) = -2x³ + 4x - 1

p(2) is x = 2

Step 2: Solve

  1. Substitute:                    p(2) = -2(2)³ + 4(2) - 1
  2. Evaluate:                       p(2) = -2(8) + 4(2) - 1
  3. Multiply:                        p(2) = -16 + 8 - 1
  4. Add:                              p(2) = -8 - 1
  5. Subtract:                       p(2) = -9
