. Now since the domain of x is whatever x is that won't make the denominator zero, let's focus just on the denominator. First factor it. It is the difference between two perfect squares, so it is
. Now take each expression separately as
and
. Set them both equal to zero.
and
. Solve both of them and get 3 and -3. These values for x are what x is to make the denominator zero. Therefore, these values are what x cannot be in this function. So the domain of x would be any value for x except those two. Domain: all x except 3 and -3.
