everyone does
the "domain" are "allowed" x values normally, all x values are used. but sometimes, the formula can run into problems for some x values For example, divide by 0 is not allowed. if there is an x value that cause a divide by zero, we exclude it from the domain the other place we run into trouble is square root of a negative number, so we don't allow it. That is what you have to do for your problems.
in your first problem \[ \sqrt{x+5} \] we do *not* want x-5 to be negative in other words we want x-5 \(\ge \) 0 or \( x \ge 5\) that is the domain (allowed x values)
I mysteriously changed x+5 to x-5. But hopefully you can still do the problem: you want \[ x+5 \ge 0\\ x \ge -5 \] so the domain (allowed x values) is \[ [-5, +\infty) \]
