Answer

The set of all real numbers except $-3$ and $-1$.

Work Step by Step

The denominator cannot be equal to zero. Solving for the values that make the denominator zero in the given function, $ f(x)=\dfrac{9x^2-9}{x^2+4x+3} ,$ then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x^2+4x+3=0 \\\\ (x+3)(x+1)=0 \\\\ x-\{-3,-1\} .\end{array} Hence, the domain is $\text{ the set of all real numbers except $-3$ and $-1$ .}$
