Answer

$ 0\leq x \leq 6$

Work Step by Step

For $\sqrt{6x - x^{2}}$ to be defined as a real number: $6x - x^{2}\geq0$ <=> $x(6-x)\geq0$. The expression on the left of the inequality changes signs when $x = 0$ and $x = 6$. Thus we must check the intervals in the following table. From the table, we see that $6x - x^{2}$ is defined when $ 0\leq x \leq 6$.
