$\log_{6} (\frac{36}{x})$

Step 1

Set the denominator in $\frac{36}{x}$ equal to $0$ to find where the expression is undefined.

$x = 0$

Step 2

Set the argument in $\log_{6} (\frac{36}{x})$ less than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is undefined.

$\frac{36}{x} \leq 0$

Step 3

Step 3.2.1

Set the denominator in $\frac{36}{x}$ equal to $0$ to find where the expression is undefined.

$x = 0$

Step 3.2.2

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

$(- \infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$

Step 3.3

The solution consists of all of the true intervals.

$x < 0$

Step 4

The equation is undefined where the denominator equals $0$ , the argument of a square root is less than $0$ , or the argument of a logarithm is less than or equal to $0$ .

$x \leq 0$

$(- \infty, 0]$
