Two issues with regards to the function is when the denominator goes to zero since division by zero is undefined and when the argument for the square root is less than zero since that's also undefined.
So,

Two boundary points are and .
We can graph the denominator,

We see that between and inclusively, the argument for the square root would be negative or zero.
So the domain is,
(,)U(,)
