Hello!
The domain of the function are the x-values that make the function true.
Since the graph has open circles and filled in circles, the open circles make the function false (written as <) , and the filled in circles make it true (written as ≤).
From the graph, the x value -3, and 2 are open circles. While the value -0.5 are filled in circles. Also, from the interval (-0.5, 2), there is gap, so it is part of the domain.
Therefore, the domain of the function is: x ∪ x , which is the third choice.
