Answer 2

"evaluate x^3-x^2-x-1 at x=1.6" works for me.

Answer 3

You could do it like this:

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=evaluate+x%5E3-x%5E2-x-1+at+x+%3D+1.6

However, you could also do a table like this:

Answer 4

Asking politely:

please compute x^3-x^2-x-1 at x=1.6

did the work for me.
