Given the function:


h(x)=\frac{6\sqrt[]{4x+3}}{9x-4}

Let's find the domain of the function.

The domain of a function is the possible values of x which makes the function true.

To find the domain of the function, set the denominator to zero and solve for x.

We have:

9x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:

9x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4

9x = 4

Divide both sides of the equation by 9:


\begin{gathered} (9x)/(9)=(4)/(9) \\ \\ x=(4)/(9) \end{gathered}

Also, set the expression in the radicand greater or equal to zero and solve for x.

4x + 3 ≥ 0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

4x + 3 - 3 ≥ 0 - 3

4x ≥ -3

Divide both sides by 4:


\begin{gathered} (4x)/(4)\ge-(3)/(4) \\ \\ x\ge-(3)/(4) \end{gathered}

The domain of h is:


\mleft\lbrace x\vert x\ge-(3)/(4),x\\e(4)/(9)\mright\rbrace

Therefore, the domain of h in interval notation is:


\lbrack-(3)/(4),(4)/(9))\cup((4)/(9),\infty)
