Answer

$y=0.375$ $y=1.5$ $y=1.5 \sqrt{2}$

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow y=1.5(2)^x$ Substitute $-2$ for $x$. $\Rightarrow y=1.5(2)^{-2}$ Evaluate the power. $\Rightarrow y=1.5\cdot \frac{1}{2^2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=0.375$ Substitute $0$ for $x$. $\Rightarrow y=1.5(2)^{0}$ Evaluate the power. $\Rightarrow y=1.5\cdot 1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=1.5$ Substitute $\frac{1}{2}$ for $x$. $\Rightarrow y=1.5(2)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ Evaluate the power. $\Rightarrow y=1.5\cdot \sqrt{2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=1.5\cdot \sqrt{2}$.
