Answer

Domain: $\text{ the interval } [-2,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

The radicand of the given function, $ g(x)=\sqrt{x+2} ,$ should be nonnegative. Hence, \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x+2\ge0 \\ x\ge-2 .\end{array} Hence, the domain of the given function is $ \text{ the interval } [-2,\infty) .$ Substituting $x=-2$ in the given function results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} g(x)=\sqrt{-2+2} \\ g(x)=\sqrt{0} \\ g(x)=0 .\end{array} Substituting $x=-1$ in the given function results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} g(x)=\sqrt{-1+2} \\ g(x)=\sqrt{1} \\ g(x)=1 .\end{array} Substituting $x=2$ in the given function results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} g(x)=\sqrt{2+2} \\ g(x)=\sqrt{4} \\ g(x)=2 .\end{array} Substituting $x=7$ in the given function results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} g(x)=\sqrt{7+2} \\ g(x)=\sqrt{9} \\ g(x)=3 .\end{array} The completed table is shown below. Using the table of values, the graph is shown above.
