Math Help - Finding the domain of this function?

1. Finding the domain of this function?

f(x) = Square root of [x/(x-1)]

I figured that was equivalent to sqrtx/sqrt(x-1), correct?
In that case the domain would be x>1 ?

That's exactly right.

3. Ah alright, thanks. I was just confused because I got two different graphs in my calculator for sqrt[x/(x-1)] and sqrtx/sqrt(x-1). That is correct though?

The two writings are different. In the first one, you assume that x/(x-1) is positive, so x and x-1 can be both positive, or both negative. In the second one, you assume that x is positive and x-1 is positive, that is to say they're both positive.
