Question 347654: Please help me. I tried the only things that I thought would work on this problem and they were wrong. I tried 1 as the solution and 0 because anything else would make the whole thing under the sqrt a negative number right. It has me completely stumped.
Let the function f be defined by
f(x) = \sqrt{-7 x + 8}.
Then x is in the domain of f provided x is less than or equal to _____.
Hint: There is no real number that is the square root of a negative real number.

Since the square root argument cannot be negative then,
-7x%2B8%3E=0
-7x%3E=-8
x%3C=8%2F7
So the domain is (-infinity,8%2F7]
