Answer

So, the domain of $G(x)$ is $x \in \boxed{(-1, \infty)}$ in interval notation.

Steps

Step 1 :In order for the given function to have a real value, the argument of the logarithm, i.e., $2x+2$, must be greater than 0. So, we have $2x+2>0$.

Step 2 :Solving the inequality, we subtract 2 from both sides to get $2x>-2$.

Step 3 :Then, we divide both sides by 2 to get $x>-1$.

Step 4 :So, the domain of $G(x)$ is $x \in \boxed{(-1, \infty)}$ in interval notation.
