Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Inner Function

The domain of the function is restricted by the expression under the square root, $Bx + C$, since the square root function is only defined for non-negative values. Therefore, the expression $Bx + C$ must be greater than or equal to 0.

Step 2: Solve the Inequality

Given $Bx + C \geq 0$ and $B \neq 0$, we divide both sides by $B$ to isolate $x$. Since $B$ is positive, the inequality direction remains the same, leading to $x \geq -\frac{C}{B} = -0.4$.

Final Answer

The domain of the function is: x \geq -0.4.
