Answer

$D(G)=\{x \in \mathbb{R} : x \leq 1\}$

Work Step by Step

The radicand (expression inside the radical sign) of a square root is not allowed to be negative. Thus, to find the domain of the given functino, we have to solve the ienquality: $$1-x\ge0$$ Solve the inequality to obtain: $$\begin{align*} 1-x&\ge0\\ 1&\ge x\\ x&\le1 \end{align*}$$ Therefore, the domain of the given function is $\left\{x|x\le1\right\}$.
