Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The function g(x)=16+2x g(x) = \sqrt{16 + 2x} involves a square root.
2. The domain of the function is determined by the condition that the radicand (the expression inside the square root) must be non-negative.

STEP 2

1. Identify the radicand.
2. Set up the inequality for the radicand to be non-negative.
3. Solve the inequality for x x .
4. Express the solution in interval notation.

STEP 3

Identify the radicand of the square root in the function g(x)=16+2x g(x) = \sqrt{16 + 2x} .
The radicand is:
16+2x 16 + 2x

STEP 4

Set up the inequality for the radicand to be non-negative:
16+2x0 16 + 2x \geq 0

STEP 5

Solve the inequality 16+2x0 16 + 2x \geq 0 for x x :
Subtract 16 from both sides:
2x16 2x \geq -16
Divide both sides by 2:
x8 x \geq -8

STEP 6

Express the solution in interval notation. Since x x must be greater than or equal to 8-8, the domain of g(x) g(x) is:
[8,) [-8, \infty)
The domain of the function is [8,) \boxed{[-8, \infty)} .
