Sol : p ( x ) = x³ - x² + x + 1

When, x = 1.

p ( 1 ) = 1³ - ( 1 )² + 1 + 1

p ( 1 ) = 1 - 1 + 1 + 1

p ( 1 ) = 3 - 1

p ( 1 ) = 2.

When, x = ( - 1 / 2 )

p ( -1 / 2 ) = ( - 1/ 2 )³ - ( -1 / 2 )² + ( - 1 / 2 ) + 1

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

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

                       - 1 - 2 - 4 + 8
p ( - 1 / 2 ) =   --------------------
                                 8
                       - 7 + 8
p ( -1 / 2 ) =  ---------------
                            8

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

NoClue: Why did we substitute value of X with (-1/2)?
Anonymous: In your question it is given.
