Answer

Domain = $\{(x,y)|\quad 0\leq y\leq\sqrt{25-x^{2}}\}$ (see image)

Work Step by Step

Because of the restrictions for square roots, f is defined when $ y\geq 0\qquad$and$\qquad 25-x^{2}-y^{2}\geq 0.$ The first condition allows only points above or on the axis. The second condition: The $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ plane is divided into two regions by the circle around the origin, $x^{2}+y^{2}=5^{5}$ (the circle itself is included) (0,0) satisfies the condition so the region defined is the disk of radius 5 around the origin. We combine the 2 conditions $y^{2}\leq 25-x^{2},\qquad y\geq 0$ $-\sqrt{25-x^{2}}\leq y\leq\sqrt{25-x^{2}},\qquad y\geq 0\quad\Rightarrow\quad 0\leq y\leq\sqrt{25-x^{2}}$ which is half of a disk around the origin, radius 5, above the x-axis, border lines included. Domain = $\{(x,y)|\quad 0\leq y\leq\sqrt{25-x^{2}}\}$ (see image)
