The domain is x in [-2/7, +oo)x[27,+). The range is y in [0,+oo)y[0,+)

Explanation:

Let y=sqrt(7x+2)y=7x+2

What's under the square root sign is >=00

Therefore,

7x+2>=07x+20

=>, x>=-2/7x27

The domain is x in [-2/7, +oo)x[27,+)

When,

x=-2/7x=27, =>, y=0y=0

And

lim_(x->+oo)sqrt(7x+2)=+oo

Therefore,

The range is y in [0,+oo)
