x> -3/4

Explanation:

As f(x)=ln(4x+3) and we cannot have natural log of a negative number as also 0, the domain is given by 4x+3>0 or x> -3/4.

This may also be seen by the graph of f(x)=ln(4x+3)

graph{ln(4x+3) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Write an inequality that asserts that the argument of the logarithm must be greater than zero and then solve for x.

Explanation:

Write the inequality

4x+3>0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

4x > -3

Divide both sides by 4:

x > -3/4

The domain is {x in RR: x > -3/4}.
