A combined expression is defined only where every component is defined, so find each restriction separately and intersect them. Square roots allow a zero radicand, while logarithms require a strictly positive argument; those different boundary rules decide whether an endpoint survives. Checking the limiting endpoint in both components is the cleanest final safeguard.
