Domain
The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (usually x-values) for which the function is defined.
Real Numbers

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The domain of the function g(x)=7−8xg(x) = \sqrt{7 - 8x}g(x)=7−8x is determined by the condition that the expression under the square root must be greater than or equal to 0 (since the square root of a negative number is not real). Thus, we require 7−8x≥07 - 8x \geq 07−8x≥0 , which simplifies to x≤78x \leq \frac{7}{8}x≤87 .
