Answer

Domain of the given function is $$ \left\{(x, y) | x^{2} \leq y , \quad x\ne \pm1 \right\}. $$

Work Step by Step

$$ g(x,y)=\frac{\sqrt {y-x^{2}}}{1-x^{2}} $$ This function is defined only when: $$ 1-x^{2} \ne 0 $$ $\Rightarrow$ $$ x^{2} \ne 1, \quad i.e. (x\ne 1, x\ne -1) $$ In addition, $g$ is not defined if: $$ y-x^{2} \geq 0 $$ $\Rightarrow$ $$ x^{2} \leq y $$ Thus the domain of $g $ is $$ \left\{(x, y) | x^{2} \leq y , \quad x\ne \pm1 \right\}. $$
