1. Problem Description

Find the domain of the function f(x)=2x+4f(x) = \sqrt{2x + 4}.

2. Solution Steps

The domain of a square root function requires the expression inside the square root to be greater than or equal to zero. Therefore, we must have:
2x+402x + 4 \ge 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the inequality:
2x42x \ge -4
Divide both sides of the inequality by 2:
x2x \ge -2
The domain of the function is all values of xx greater than or equal to 2-2. This is written in interval notation as [2,)[-2, \infty).

3. Final Answer

(c) [2,)[-2, \infty)
