Final answer:

The domain of the function f(x) = √(1/3x + 2) is x ≥ -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of the function f(x) = √(1/3x + 2) is the set of all real numbers that make the expression inside the square root valid.

To find this domain, we need to ensure that the expression 1/3x + 2 is not negative because the square root of a negative number is not real. We can solve this inequality:

1/3x + 2 ≥ 0

Subtracting 2 from both sides:

1/3x ≥ -2

Multiplying both sides by 3:

x ≥ -6

So, the domain of the function is x ≥ -6.
