Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

p(x) = -2x³ + 4x - 1

p(2) is x = 2

Step 2: Solve

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