Answer:

x ≥ -1/2

Explanation:

We know that we cannot graph imaginary numbers. Therefore, our x value has to be greater than or equal to 0:

To find our domain, we need to set the square root equal to zero:

√(4x + 2) = 0

4x + 2 = 0

4x = -2

x = -1/2

We now know that no value below -1/2 can be used or we will get an imaginary number. Therefore, our answer is x ≥ -1/2

Alternatively, we can graph the function and analyze domain:
