Answer

So, the final answers are $h(2) = \boxed{-6}$, $h(-2) = \boxed{18}$, and $h(0) = \boxed{2}$.

Steps

Step 1 ：The function given is $h(x)=x^{2}-6 x+2$.

Step 2 ：We are asked to evaluate this function at the values $x=2$, $x=-2$, and $x=0$.

Step 3 ：First, let's substitute $x=2$ into the function. This gives us $h(2)=2^{2}-6*2+2=-6$.

Step 4 ：Next, let's substitute $x=-2$ into the function. This gives us $h(-2)=(-2)^{2}-6*(-2)+2=18$.

Step 5 ：Finally, let's substitute $x=0$ into the function. This gives us $h(0)=0^{2}-6*0+2=2$.

Step 6 ：So, the final answers are $h(2) = \boxed{-6}$, $h(-2) = \boxed{18}$, and $h(0) = \boxed{2}$.
