Answer: Set of all real numbers

As an inequality, the domain is
-\infty < \text{x} < \infty to represent x being between negative infinity and positive infinity.

That shortens down to the interval notation
(-\infty, \infty)

The reason why the domain is "all real numbers" is because we don't have any issues like division by zero errors, or we don't have negative values under a square root. Replace x with any real number to get some output for f(x).

Visually the graph is a parabola the stretches infinitely to the left and right to confirm the correct domain.
