1. **State the problem:** We have two functions $f$ and $g$ given by their graphs. We need to find the domain and range of $f$, evaluate expressions involving $f$ and $g$, find inverse values, and determine if $g$ is invertible.
2. **Domain and range of $f$:**
- The domain is the set of all $x$ values for which $f(x)$ is defined.
- The range is the set of all $y$ values that $f(x)$ takes.
3. **Evaluate $(3f - 5g)(4)$:**
- Use the formula $(3f - 5g)(4) = 3f(4) - 5g(4)$.
- Find $f(4)$ and $g(4)$ from the graphs.
4. **Evaluate $(f \, o \, g)(-1)$:**
- This means $f(g(-1))$.
- Find $g(-1)$, then find $f$ at that value.
5. **Evaluate $(g \, o \, f)(-4)$:**
- This means $g(f(-4))$.
- Find $f(-4)$, then find $g$ at that value.
6. **Find $f^{-1}(2)$:**
- Find the $x$ such that $f(x) = 2$.
7. **Is $g$ invertible?**
- A function is invertible if it is one-to-one (passes the horizontal line test).

**Step-by-step solution:**
1. **Domain of $f$:** From the graph, $f$ is defined from $x = -3$ (filled point) to $x = 5$ (filled point), so domain is $[-3,5]$.
2. **Range of $f$:** The lowest $y$ value is $-2$ (at $x=5$), highest is $3$ (at $x=0$), so range is $[-2,3]$.
3. **Evaluate $(3f - 5g)(4)$:**
- From graph, $f(4) = -1$ (filled point near $x=4$).
- From graph, $g(4) = -2$ (filled point at $x=4$).
- Calculate:
$$
(3f - 5g)(4) = 3 \times (-1) - 5 \times (-2) = -3 + 10 = 7
$$
4. **Evaluate $(f \circ g)(-1)$:**
- From graph, $g(-1) = 1$ (on left side of $g$'s graph).
- Then $f(1) = 2$ (from $f$ graph).
- So:
$$
(f \circ g)(-1) = f(g(-1)) = f(1) = 2
$$
5. **Evaluate $(g \circ f)(-4)$:**
- From graph, $f(-4) = 1$.
- Then $g(1) = 1$.
- So:
$$
(g \circ f)(-4) = g(f(-4)) = g(1) = 1
$$
6. **Find $f^{-1}(2)$:**
- Find $x$ such that $f(x) = 2$.
- From graph, $f(1) = 2$, so:
$$
f^{-1}(2) = 1
$$
7. **Is $g$ invertible?**
- $g$ is an inverted V shape with a peak at $x=0$.
- It fails the horizontal line test because some $y$ values correspond to two $x$ values.
- Therefore, $g$ is not invertible.
**Final answers:**
- Domain of $f$: $[-3,5]$
- Range of $f$: $[-2,3]$
- $(3f - 5g)(4) = 7$
- $(f \circ g)(-1) = 2$
- $(g \circ f)(-4) = 1$
- $f^{-1}(2) = 1$
- $g$ is not invertible because it is not one-to-one.
