Answer

$f(\frac{2}{3}) = \sqrt[3]{9} \approx 2.08$

Work Step by Step

Substitute $\frac{2}{3}$ to $x$ in the given function to have: $f(x) = 3^x \\f(\frac{2}{3}) = 3^{\frac{2}{3}}$ RECALL: $a^{\frac{b}{c}}=\sqrt[c]{a^b}$ Use the rule above to have: $f(\frac{2}{3}) = 3^{\frac{2}{3}} \\f(\frac{2}{3}) = \sqrt[3]{3^2} \\f(\frac{2}{3}) = \sqrt[3]{9} \approx 2.08$
