Answer

The domain is the set of real numbers less than or equal to $1$.

Work Step by Step

The given function is $h(x)=\sqrt{-x+1}$ The radicand cannot be negative. So, $-x+1$ is greater than or equal to zero. $\Rightarrow -x+1\geq 0$ Add $x$ to each side. $\Rightarrow -x+1+x\geq 0+x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 1\geq x$ Hence, the domain is the set of real numbers less than or equal to $1$.
