The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values that the function can take without breaking. In the case of f(x) = log(5x+10) + 3, the domain is all real numbers x such that 5x+10 is greater than 0. This is because the log function is not defined for values less than or equal to 0.

To find the domain of f(x), we need to solve the inequality 5x+10 > 0. We can do this by subtracting 10 from both sides of the inequality, which gives us 5x > -10. Dividing both sides by 5 gives us x > -2. Therefore, the domain of f(x) = log(5x+10) + 3 is all real numbers x such that x > -2.
