The real domain of the function $y=\sqrt{9-x^2}$ is the closed interval $[-3, 3]$. This restriction exists because, over the real numbers, the expression inside a square root (the radicand) must be nonnegative for the principal square root to be real-valued.

Conditions: Real-valued interpretation of the square root.; Using the principal square root convention.; The radicand is $9 - x^2$.
