Recall that the square root is only definied for possitive numbers and zero, therefore, the domain of f(x) consists of all x such that:


-2x-7\ge0.

Adding 7 to the inequality we get:


-2x\ge7.

Dividing by -2 we get:


x\le-(7)/(2)\text{.}

Therefore, the domain of f(x) is:


(-\infty,-(7)/(2)\rbrack.

Answer:


(-\infty,-(7)/(2)\rbrack.
