Homework Statement



I have this function of two variables:

[itex]f(x,y)=\sqrt{4xy-3y^2}[/itex]

Where I have to declare the domain of the function.

Homework Equations



Since you cannot take the square root of something negative, when dealing with real numbers. The square root has to be zero or above.

The Attempt at a Solution



Well I just wanted to know if this is a sufficient answer:

[itex]D_f = \{(x,y) = 4xy-3y^2 \geq 0 \}[/itex]

Yes, it is. That is the "natural domain" of the given function.
