ANSWER

The correct answer is C

Step-by-step explanation

This is the composition the two functions

We have


a(x) = 3x + 1

and


b(x) = √(x - 4)


(b \circ \: a)(x) = b(a(x))


(b \circ \: a)(x) = b(3x + 1)

We substitute to obtain,


(b \circ \: a)(x) = √((3x + 1) - 4)


(b \circ \: a)(x) = √(3x - 3)

The domain of this function can be found by solving,


3x - 3 \geqslant 0

This implies that


3x \geqslant 3

Or


x \geqslant 1

In interval notation, we have,


[1, \infty )

The correct answer is option C
