Answer

The domain is the set of real numbers less than or equal to $8$.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $f(x)=\sqrt{-x+8}$ The radicand cannot be negative. So, $-x+8$ is greater than or equal to zero. $\Rightarrow -x+8\geq 0$ Add $x$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 8\geq x$ Hence, the domain is the set of real numbers less than or equal to $8$.
