Answer

The domain of the function $h\left( x \right)=\sqrt{8-2x}$ is $\left( -\infty,4 \right]$.

Work Step by Step

Consider the given function $h\left( x \right)=\sqrt{8-2x}$. Note that this function involves the square root. Since the square root of a negative real number is not defined, the expression written inside the square root sign must be non-negative. This means that $8-2x\ge 0$ or $8\ge 2x$ or $x\le 4$ Therefore, the domain of the function $h\left( x \right)=\sqrt{8-2x}$ is $\left( -\infty,4 \right]$.
