Answer

$h(3,8,2) = 6$. $h(3,-2,-6) = \frac{-1}{6}$.

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $h(x,y,z)=xyz^{-2}$ We plug in the points to find the function values: $h(3,8,2) = (3)(8)(2)^{-2} = (3)(8)(\frac{1}{4}) = (3)(2) = 6$ $h(3,-2,-6) = (3)(-2)(-6)^{-2} = (3)(-2)(\frac{1}{36}) = \frac{-6}{36} = \frac{-1}{6}$
