The answer is C. Just plug in the maximum and minimum domain values (because the function is linear, you don't have to worry about more complicated things happening in the middle) and be careful with the signs.

Answer:

c) -16 ≤ x < 5

Explanation:

The given function is f(x) = -3x + 2 and domain is -1 < x ≤ 6

The maximum value of the domain is 6 and the minimum value of the domain is -1.

To find the range, plugin the maximum and minimum value of the domain.

Plug in x = 6 in the given function, we get

f(6) = -3(6) + 2 = -18 +2 = -16

f(-1) = -3(-1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

So the range is -16 ≤ x < 5
