Answer

$\left[ 1,\infty \right)$

Work Step by Step

The radicand of the given function, $ f(x)=\sqrt{x^3-1} ,$ can only be a nonnegative number. Hence, \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x^3-1\ge0 \\\\ x^3\ge1 \\\\ x\ge\sqrt[3]{1} \\\\ x\ge1 .\end{array} Hence, the domain is $ \left[ 1,\infty \right) .$
