Answer

The domain is the set of real numbers greater than or equal to $-4$.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $m(x)=2\sqrt{x+4}$ The radicand cannot be negative. So, $x+4$ is greater than or equal to zero. $\Rightarrow x+4\geq 0$ Subtract $4$ from each side. $\Rightarrow x+4-4\geq 0-4$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x\geq -4$ Hence, the domain is the set of real numbers greater than or equal to $-4$.
