The domain of the function is the range of values of x that can be used to be replaced in the equation for it to become true. We are given that the value of f(x) should range only from -1 to 3. We evaluate each of the choices and see if the values of f(x) will fall within the range.
(a) -12; f(x) = 2^(-12) - 10 = -9.9999 (NOT AN ANSWER)
(b) -10; f(x) = 2^(-10) - 10 = -9.999 (NOT AN ANSWER)
(c) -9; f(x) = 2^(-9) - 10 = -9.999 (NOT AN ANSWER)
(d) -6; f(x) = 2^(-6) - 10 = -9.98 (NOT AN ANSWER)
(e) -2; f(x) = 2^(-2) - 10 = -9.75 (NOT AN ANSWER)
Hence, none of the choices will allow the value of f(x) to fall between -1 and 3.

The range is all number greater than -10, so the values that are elements of the range of f(x) are c) -9, d) -6, and e) -2
