If the domain of f(x)=√(x+b) is [-6,∞), what is the value of b?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6

The defining condition for a real square root is that its radicand is nonnegative. Thus x+b≥0, which can be rewritten as x≥−b. The domain begins at the boundary x=−b. Since the given domain is [-6,∞), its boundary must satisfy −b=−6. Multiplying by −1 gives b=6, so option A is correct. The left endpoint is included because the radicand is zero there: at x=−6, x+b=−6+6=0. Option B has the sign reversed and would give the domain [6,∞). Option C would give [0,∞), while option D would give [−12,∞); neither matches the stated domain. Comparing the endpoint is therefore sufficient and decisive.
