Answer: y values in order: 2, 1, 0.5

Explanation:

Just take the x values and put them in place of the x in the above equation.

As for -1, you're flipping 0.5 over to a fraction of 1/0.5, which equals 2, so that's the first y value.

*This is because any negative exponent gets the number in the denominator with 1 in the numerator, then the denominator can change depending on the value of the exponent

For 0, anything to the power of 0 is 1, so that's the second y value.

And then for 1, the number doesn't change, so just put 0.5 in the third y-value.

Also I see it says for you to sketch a graph, in this case the picture I have showing is what the graph would look like

Hope this helps at least :)
