[The answer above is incorrect.]
Domain of
If three were no denominators or square roots containing x
the domain would be
But this function has BOTH!
So we set what's under the square root greater than or equal to zero
and we set the denominator not equal to 0.
So we have and
Solving we get
Now we see that there is no need to require that , for
if x is greater than or equal 3, then it's automatically not equal
to 0, so we only need to write the domain either in set builder
for as
{x | x ≧ 3}
or in interval notation as
