-oo< x<1

Explanation:

Solve the function for y: y=log_a(a-a^x).

Since the logarithm can only accept values greater than 0, a-a^x>0, or a^x< a. We can take the natural logarithm of both sides to get xln(a)< ln(a).

Since a>1, ln(a)>0. We can divide both sides by ln(a) without worrying about flipping the inequality sign or dividing by 0. Therefore, xln(a)< ln(a) becomes x<1.

Thus, the domain is -oo< x<1.
