I tried few values:

Explanation:

I would use "friendly" values for x to avoid difficult and complicated evaluations (basically, values that I can easily evaluate).
I'll try:
x=-1 so that y=2^(-2)=1/4=0.25
x=-1/2 so that y=2^(-2*1/2)=2^-1=1/2=0.5
x=0 so that y=2^0=1
x=1/2 so that y=2^(2*1/2)=2^1=2
x=1 so that y=2^(2*1)=4
x=3/2 so that y=2^(2*3/2)=2^3=8
