-2< x<=3

Explanation:

The domain of a function is all of the inputs for which the function is defined. The function is a fraction as well as square root. Of course, the denominator can't be zero, as the fraction would be undefined. So x!=-2

But also, since we have a square root, neither the denominator nor the numerator can be negative. So x>=3 and x > -2.

Bringing these two together, we can define the domain as -2 < x <=3
