The domain of a function is the possible values of "t" that the given function can take.

Since the variable "t" is in the denominator, the denominator cannot be equal to zero because it would make the function undefined.

Hence, t - 4 must be greater than zero. For t - 4 to be greater than zero, the value of t must be greater than 4.

In addition, since the variable is inside the radical sign, then the function itself cannot be negative.

Hence, the domain of this function must be greater than 4. In interval notation, it is (4, ∞).
