Answer: -2

Explanation:

Replacing x for -1 would make the equation
4(-1^3)+2. Knowing PEMDAS, we know that the parentheses goes first.
-1^3 means that we need to multiply -1 by itself 3 times (
-1*-1*-1, * equals "times").
-1*-1=1 so
1*-1=-1. Now our equation is
4(-1)+2.
4*-1=-1 and -4 + 2 = -2. Hope this explanation helps :)
