Please verify my solution. Need some guideline to complete.

Explanation:

The domain of the given function is the set of #x# values such that #sqrt(5x-x^2-6) > 0#

The discriminant of the quadratic equation is:
#(5)^2-4(-1)(-6) = 1#

Since the discriminant is positive the equation has two real number value of #x#

Applying quadratic formula we get:
#x = -b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a#

Putting value of #a=-1, b=5, c= -6# we get:
#x=2,3#

Now with the values 2 and 3 the above function becomes undefined, so that with any real numbers.

How should I proceed next.... any help ?
