Answer

The domain is the set of real numbers less than or equal to $0$.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $y=\sqrt{-\frac{1}{2}x}+1$ The radicand cannot be negative. So, $-\frac{1}{2}x$ is greater than or equal to zero. $\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{2}x\geq 0$ Multiply each side by $-2$ and reverse the inequality symbol. $\Rightarrow x\leq 0$ Hence, the domain is the set of real numbers less than or equal to $0$.
