Answer

The combined domain is the intersection of the two separate domains, which is x2 and x3.

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Find the domain of each function separately.

Step 2 :For f(x)=x+2, the domain is x2 because the expression under the square root must be greater than or equal to 0.

Step 3 :For g(x)=1x3, the domain is x3 because the denominator of a fraction cannot be 0.

Step 4 :Step 2: Combine the two domains.

Step 5 :The combined domain is the intersection of the two separate domains, which is x2 and x3.
