What is the domain of the function on this graph?
### Understanding the Domain of a Function

#### Graph Analysis

The image shows a graph of a function on a coordinate plane. The function is plotted with respect to the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). The following observations can be made from the graph:

- The graph features a continuous line that starts from a certain point and extends in both positive and negative directions along the x-axis.
- We can see that the graph starts at the point (-3, -1) with a dotted circle indicating a specific start point, then it continues to extend upwards and to the right indefinitely. 

#### Question:

**What is the domain of this function?**

#### Answer Choices:

- All real numbers
- All real numbers greater than 0
- All real numbers greater than or equal to -3
- All real numbers greater than or equal to 0

The correct answer is selected as:

- All real numbers greater than or equal to -3

This means that the function is defined for all x values starting from -3 and extending to positive infinity.

#### Explanation:

The domain of a function refers to all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined. In this case, we see that the function is not defined for any x-value less than -3. Therefore, the domain includes all x-values greater than or equal to -3.

#### Note:

If you have any doubts or require further explanation, please refer to your textbook or contact your instructor.
