Range are the y-values. Plug the x-values into the equation and solve for y.

f(x) = 3x - 2

f(-1) = 3(-1) - 2

= -3 - 2

= -5

f(0) = 3(0) - 2

= 0 - 2

= -2

R: -5 ≤ y < -2 ⇒ [-5, -2)

********************************

f(x) = 2x + 3

f(0) = 2(0) + 3

= 0 + 3

= 3

f(5) = 2(5) + 3

= 10 + 3

= 13

R: 3 ≤ y < 13 ⇒ [3, 13)

Now, put them together: [-5, -2) U [3, 13)

Answer: A
