Answer: B) [1.5, ∞)

Explanation:

log₈ (4x + 2) + 4 ≥ 5

log₈ (4x + 2) ≥ 1 subtract 1 from both sides

4x + 2 ≥ 8¹ apply log rules

4x ≥ 6 subtracted 2 from both sides

x ≥ 1.5 divided 4 from both sides

In interval notation: [1.5, ∞)

1.5 is included so use the bracket.

It is "greater than" so it goes to infinity (which uses a parenthesis)
