Remember that you cannot take the log of a negative number, regardless of the base. Also, you can take the logarithm of zero, since no number raised to a power can equal zero (although it come very close).
Therefore, (x+3), the number inside the logarithm, must be greater than zero.
x+3 > 0
x > -3
The domain is x > -3,
or (-3, ∞) in interval notation

The domain of the function f(x) = log2(x + 3) + 2 is x >= -2.75
How to calculate the domain
The function is given as:
[tex]f(x) = log_2(x + 3) + 2[/tex]
Set to 0
[tex]log_2(x + 3) + 2 = 0[/tex]
Subtract 2 from both sides
[tex]log_2(x + 3) = -2[/tex]
Apply the law of logarithm
[tex]x + 3 = 2^{-2[/tex]
Evaluate the exponent
[tex]x + 3 =0.25[/tex]
Subtract 3 from both sides
[tex]x = -2.75[/tex]
The above means that the smallest value of x is 2.75
Hence, the domain of the function f(x) = log2(x + 3) + 2 is x >= -2.75
