If the denominator is then your set of existence is given by
since you want the quantity inside both square roots to be positive (and it happens for both to be simply and you don't want a zero at the denominator so you have to rule out 1.

where you don't include the extreme in the second condition since, again, you don't want to divide by 0. The answer in this case is simply since values between 0 and 1 will give a negative root which is not a real number.
