What is the domain of the function f(x) = 1/(x + 2)?

  1. x ≤ -2

  2. x < 0

  3. x ≥ -2

  4. x > 0

The correct answer is: x ≥ -2

This function has no restrictions on the value of x, except that it cannot be equal to -2 since that would result in a division by 0. Therefore, the domain of this function can be any real number greater than or equal to -2. Options A and B are incorrect because they restrict the domain to specific ranges. Option D is incorrect because it does not allow for values less than 0. Option C is the only option that allows for any value greater than or equal to -2, making it the correct answer.
