ANSWER


[6,\infty)

Step-by-step explanation

We want to identify the domain of the function:


f(x)=(6x-36)^{(1)/(2)}

Let us write the function:


f(x)=√(6x-36)

The domain of a function is the set of all x values for which the function is valid.

The given function contains a radical (square root). A radical is invalid if the radicand (the expression inside the radical) is less than 0.

This implies that the radicand must be greater than or equal to 0:


6x-36\ge0

Now, solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 6x\ge36 \\ \\ x\ge(36)/(6) \\ \\ x\ge6 \end{gathered}

Hence, the domain of the function is:


x\ge6

In interval notation, the domain is:


[6,\infty)
