Answer

$\left[ \dfrac{7}{2},\infty \right)$

Work Step by Step

The radicand of the given function, $ f(x)=\sqrt{2x-7} ,$ can only be a nonnegative number. Hence, \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 2x-7\ge0 \\\\ 2x\ge7 \\\\ x\ge\dfrac{7}{2} .\end{array} Hence, the domain is $ \left[ \dfrac{7}{2},\infty \right) .$
