The correct answer is: -2.6
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=3[\mathrm{x}]+5\{\mathrm{x}+1\} \\
& \mathrm{x}=-1.32 \Rightarrow[\mathrm{x}]=[-1.32]=-2 \\
& \text { Also } \mathrm{x}+1=-1.32+1=-0.32 \\
& \therefore[\mathrm{x}+1]=[-0.32]=-1 \text { and }\{\mathrm{x}+1\}=0.68 \\
& \therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=3(-2)+5(0.68) \\
& =-6+3.4=-2.6
\end{aligned}
