Answer

$y=\frac{2}{81}$ $y=2$ $y=6$.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow y=2(9)^x$ Substitute $-2$ for $x$. $\Rightarrow y=2(9)^{-2}$ Evaluate the power. $\Rightarrow y=2\cdot \frac{1}{81}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=\frac{2}{81}$ Substitute $0$ for $x$. $\Rightarrow y=2(9)^{0}$ Evaluate the power. $\Rightarrow y=2\cdot 1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=2$ Substitute $\frac{1}{2}$ for $x$. $\Rightarrow y=2(9)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ Evaluate the power. $\Rightarrow y=2\cdot 3$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=6$.
