We have no restriction on the domain  for the second function  because we can take the cube root of any real number

 

However....for the first function,  x cannot be  < 2  because we would have a negative square root which does not produce a real  value

 

So......we must take the most restrictive domain  for both functions....this is  [ 2,  infinity )
