The domain of \( f(x) = \sqrt{4 - x} \) is all real numbers less than or equal to 4, which is \( (-\infty, 4] \).
Solución
1. To determine the domain of \( f(x)=\sqrt{4-x} \), we require the expression under the square root to be non-negative:
\[
4-x \geq 0
\]
2. Solve the inequality:
\[
4-x \geq 0 \quad \Longrightarrow \quad -x \geq -4
\]
Multiply both sides by \(-1\) (remember to reverse the inequality), which gives:
\[
x \leq 4
\]
3. Therefore, the domain of the function is all real numbers \( x \) such that:
\[
x \leq 4
\]
In interval notation, this is:
\[
(-\infty, 4]
\]
4. The correct answer is **C. \( (-\infty, 4] \)**.

Beyond the Answer
To determine the domain of the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{4 - x} \), we need to find the values of \( x \) for which the expression under the square root is non-negative. This means solving the inequality: \( 4 - x \geq 0 \) which simplifies to \( x \leq 4 \). Thus, the domain of the function \( f(x) \) includes all values less than or equal to \( 4 \). In interval notation, this is represented as \( (-\infty, 4] \). The correct option is **C. \( (-\infty, 4] \)**.
