ANSWER:

2nd option: D: [–3, ∞) and R: [0, ∞)

Explanation:

We have the following function ((we can assume it from the statement):


g\left(x\right)=√(x+3)

From here we can get the domain and range. Domain interval of values that x can take and range interval of values that g(x) takes.

Within the root it cannot be 0, because the root of a negative number does not exist in real numbers, therefore:

Domain: [–3, ∞)

Range: [0,∞)

Therefore, the correct answer is the 2nd option: D: [–3, ∞) and R: [0, ∞)
