p (x)=2x^4-x^2+x

p (-1/2)=2 (-1/2)^4-(-1/2)^2+(-1/2)

=2 (1/16)-1/4-1/2

=1/8-2/8-4/8

=-5/8

Heya,

p(x) = 2x^4 - x^2 + x

p (-1/2) = 2 (-1/2)^4 - (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)

p (-1/2) = 2/16 - 1/4 -1/2

[Take LCM of 16, 4 & 2]

p (-1/2) = 2/16 - 1/4 × 4/4 - 1/2 × 8/8

p (-1/2) = 2/16 - 4/16 - 8/16

p (-1/2) = 2/16 - 12/16

p (-1/2) = -10/16

p (-1/2) = -5/8

Hope my answer helps you :)

Regards,
Shobana
