For finding the range and domain of the given functions we know that the value of x represents the domain and the value of y represents a range of the function.

The given function is y =√(x+4)-2

So The domain of the given function will be the value of x various

√(x + 4) =0

(x + 4) ≥0

So we know that  the square root of numbers, less than 0 is not possible so adding the -4 on both sides and simply 

 x ≥ (-4) this is the domain value where x can be greater than equal to the-(-4)

Or [-4, ∞) will be the domain

Now for finding a range of the function we put (x+4=0) 

   √(x+4 )≥0, by adding both sides -2 

    √(x+4 )-2 ≥-2,  y ≥ -2,so the range of the given function is [ -2, ∞).
