Describe the domain of the function. g(x) =7−8xg ( x ) = \sqrt { 7 - 8 x }g(x) =78x

A) x≥78x \geq \frac { 7 } { 8 }x87
B) x≤78x \leq \frac { 7 } { 8 }x87
C) x≥87x \geq \frac { 8 } { 7 }x78
D) x≤87x \leq \frac { 8 } { 7 }x78
E) all real numbers

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

All the numbers on the number line, including rational and irrational numbers, but not imaginary numbers.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The domain of the function g(x)=7−8xg(x) = \sqrt{7 - 8x}g(x)=78x 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 078x0 , which simplifies to x≤78x \leq \frac{7}{8}x87 .
