Answer

Final Answer: The domain of the function is \(\boxed{(-2/5, \infty)}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The domain of a logarithmic function is the set of all real numbers for which the argument of the logarithm is positive. In this case, we need to find the set of all x such that \(5x + 2 > 0\).

Step 2 :Solving the inequality \(5x + 2 > 0\) gives \(x > -2/5\).

Step 3 :So, the domain of the function is all x such that \(x > -2/5\). This is the set of all real numbers greater than -2/5.

Step 4 :Final Answer: The domain of the function is \(\boxed{(-2/5, \infty)}\)
