You just need to substitute x with 1/2

Your answer will then be 3(1/2) which is 3/2 or 1.5

For this case we have a function of the form
y = f (x). Where:


f (x) = 3^x

We must find the value of the function when
x = \frac {1} {2}

So, we have:


f (\frac {1} {2}) = 3 ^ {\frac {1} {2}}

By definition we have to:


\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

Then, rewriting the expression:


\sqrt {3} = 1.73

Answer:


3 ^ {\frac {1} {2}} = 1.73
