Answer

\(\boxed{x \leq \frac{1}{2}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (often the 'x' variable), which produce a valid output from a particular function. For a square root function, the expression inside the square root must be greater than or equal to zero (since the square root of a negative number is not a real number). So, we need to solve the inequality -6x + 3 >= 0.

Step 2 :Solving the inequality -6x + 3 >= 0, we get x <= 1/2.

Step 3 :This means that the domain of the function f(x)=-sqrt{-6x+3} is all real numbers x such that x <= 1/2.

Step 4 :\(\boxed{x \leq \frac{1}{2}}\)
