All values of x so that x>1/3

Explanation:

We are given sqrt(1-3x)

As we cannot take square root of a negative number,

the restriction on values of x are given by

1-3x<0

or 1<3x

or 3x>1

or x>1/3

the domain is (-oo, 1/3]
the restricted values are (1/3, oo)

Explanation:

sqrt(1-3x) => square root can't be negative, it can be zero or greater:
1-3x>=0 => add 3x to both sides:
1>=3x => divide both sides by 3:
1/3>=x
Or:
x<=1/3 => the domain of the function

to find the restricted values:
1-3x<0
1<3x
x>1/3
