The problem in the image is asking to find the indicated value of the polynomial $P(x) = 2x^5 + 3x^2 - 2x + 1$ at $x = -2$, using the Remainder Theorem.

The Remainder Theorem states that if a polynomial $P(x)$ is divided by $(x - a)$, the remainder of that division is $P(a)$. In this case, we are asked to find $P(-2)$.

Let's evaluate $P(x)$ at $x = -2$:

$P(x) = 2x^5 + 3x^2 - 2x + 1$

Substitute $x = -2$:

$P(-2) = 2(-2)^5 + 3(-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 1$

Simplify step-by-step:

$P(-2) = 2(-32) + 3(4) - 2(-2) + 1$

$P(-2) = -64 + 12 + 4 + 1$

$P(-2) = -64 + 17$

$P(-2) = -47$

Thus, the value of the polynomial $P(x)$ at $x = -2$ is $-47$.
