$F (x) = \sqrt{x^{2} + 4}$

Step 1

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{x^{2} + 4}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$x^{2} + 4 \geq 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Step 2.1

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the inequality.

$x^{2} \geq - 4$

Step 2.2

Since the left side has an even power, it is always positive for all real numbers.

All real numbers

Step 3

The domain is all real numbers.
