By functional analysis we have the following conclusion about the function given: The domain for f(x) is all real numbers greater than or equal to 2.
<h3>How to determine the domain of a function with radical components</h3>
Domain is the set of x-values such that the value of the function exists. By algebra we know that the domain of polynomials is the set of all <em>real</em> numbers, whereas the domain of <em>radical</em> functions is the set of x-values such that y ≥ 0. If we know that f(x) = 2 · x² + 5 · √(x - 2), then the domain is restricted by the <em>radical</em> component and defined by x ≥ 2.
