Hello!


\large\boxed{\text{B. } k(x) = (-x + 3)^{(1)/(2) }}}

We can look at each answer choice to verify whether it has a restricted domain or not:

A.
f(x) = (3x)^{(1)/(5)} - 4

This is a function similar to a cubic root function. Its domain is (-∞, ∞), so it has no restriction.

B.
k(x) = (-x + 3)^{(1)/(2)}

This is a square root function. This graph only consists of x-values in the interval (3, ∞) because you cannot take the square root of a negative number. This function has a restricted domain.

C.
g(x) = -(x + 8)^(3)

This is a cubic function, so it has an interval of (-∞, ∞)

D.
h(x) = (4x)^(2) - 5

This is a quadratic function, which has no domain restriction.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
