Finall Answer:

The correct domain for
\( f(x) = 3x - 2 \) given \( -1 < x < 5 \) is option d) [-1,5].

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function refers to the set of all possible valid input values (x-values) that the function can accept. In this case, the function
\( f(x) = 3x - 2 \) is defined for all x-values within the interval
\( -1 < x < 5 \).The inequality
\( -1 < x < 5 \) includes all real numbers greater than -1 and less than 5, including these boundary values.

Therefore, the correct representation of this interval in interval notation is [-1, 5]. The square brackets denote that -1 and 5 are included in the domain, as they are part of the inequality. Hence, option d) [-1,5] accurately represents the domain of the function
\( f(x) = 3x - 2 \)for the given interval.

Therefore, the correct answer is d. probability
