Interval, Range of a function

If you ask Mathematica what is the range of Sin restricted to e.g. [0,Pi/4]
you will get a correct answer.
This is not always the case, however. Let
f[x_]:=5Exp[-2x]-3Exp[-x]
f[Interval[{-Infinity,+Infinity}]]

Then the answer Interval[{-Infinity,+Infinity}] is different from what
you see on the figure of the function.

Is there a bug here?

Thanks, Janos
