Fill in the Blank

A quality assurance manager at a chemical plant uses a custom spreadsheet calculator containing the radical formula f(x)=3x4f(x) = \sqrt{3x - 4} to estimate a chemical's stabilization time based on an input temperature coefficient xx. To prevent the spreadsheet from returning an error, the manager must recall and apply the domain restriction for this even-indexed radical. By setting the radicand greater than or equal to zero and solving, what is the lowest possible value of xx that results in a valid real number? (Type your answer as a simplified fraction in the format a/b)
