Answer 2

Answer: Choice D)
`x \ge -6`

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the square root of a negative number leads to a nonreal result.

So we want the radicand to be 0 or positive

Set the stuff under the square root to be 0 or larger. Solve for x.

`(1)/(3)x+2 \ge 0\\\\(1)/(3)x \ge 0-2\\\\(1)/(3)x \ge -2\\\\x \ge 3(-2)\\\\x \ge -6`

If x is -6 or larger, then
`(1)/(3)x+2` is 0 or larger leading to some real number for f(x).

The inequality sign does not flip because we multiplied both sides by a positive number. The inequality sign only flips when we multiply both sides by a negative number.
