For this case we have the following function:

\sqrt{ (x+6)/(x + 7(x-9))}
Rewriting the function we have:

\sqrt{ (x+6)/(x + 7x - 63)}

\sqrt{ (x+6)/(8x - 63)}
Separating the roots we have:

\frac{ √(x+6) }{ \sqrt{[tex]8x-63 \ \textgreater \ 0}} [/tex]
Then, the domain of the function is given by:

x+6 \geq 0 x \geq -6
And:

8x \ \textgreater \ 63
Answer:

x+6 \geq 0 x \geq -6
or

8x \ \textgreater \ 63
