denominator cannot be equal to zero, so exclude all values of that make denominator equal to zero and they are:
=>=> or (asymptote)
the domain is:
{ element : or }
(assuming a function from reals to reals)

The domain for this function is the set of real numbers where the expression under the square root is defined and is greater or equal to zero (is non-negative):

>= .

The numbers    and    are not in the domain because the function is not defined for these values.

Further,  the expression    is positive if and only if the numerator and denominator are both positive at the same time   OR   are both negative at the same time.

The numerator and denominator are both positive at the same time if the following inequalities are held:   >=   AND   > 1.
    These two inequalities are valid in the domain   > 1.

The numerator and denominator are both negative at the same time if the following inequalities are held:   <=   AND   < 1.
    These two inequalities are valid in the domain   < <= .

Answer.  The function    has the domain   < <=   and     > 1   (the union of two sub-domains).
