kearsten · Answer

$$y=\sqrt{2x+6}$$

freckles · Answer

you don't want any negatives inside there
you want 2x+6 to be positive or zero
that means you want 2x+6 to be greater than 0 or equal to 0
that means you need to solve 2x+6>=0

kearsten · Answer

okay..

freckles · Answer

if something is positive it is always greater than 0
if something is 0 it is equal to 0
we wanted 2x+6 to be positive or zero
so we wanted 2x+6>=0

freckles · Answer

solving 2x+6>=0 will give you the domain
