Answer: The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given piecewise function is,


y=\begin{cases}-(4)/(5)x-3 &amp; \text{ if } x<0\\3x-10 &amp; \text{ if } x\geq2 \end{cases}

It means if x<0, then


f(x)=-(4)/(5)x-3

If
x\geq2, then


f(x)=3x-10

Since the f(x) is defined for x<0 and
x\geq2, therefore the function f(x) is not defined for
0\leq x<2.

From the graph 2, 3 and 4 we can easily noticed that for each value of x there exist a unique value of y, therefore the function is defined for all values of x, which is not true according to the given piecewise function.

Only in figure the value of y not exist when x lies between 0 to 2, including 0. It means the function is not defined for
0\leq x<2, hence the first option is correct.
