$f (x) = - \sqrt{x - 5} + 10$

Step 1

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{x - 5}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$x - 5 \geq 0$

Step 2

Add $5$ to both sides of the inequality.

$x \geq 5$

Step 3

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

Interval Notation:

$[5, \infty)$
