To find the domain of the function \( f(x) = \log(14 - x) \), we need to determine the values of \( x \) for which the argument of the logarithm is positive. Specifically, we require:
\[
14 - x > 0
\]
Solving this inequality, we add \( x \) to both sides:
\[
14 > x
\]
or equivalently,
\[
x < 14
\]
Additionally, there is no restriction on how low \( x \) can go, so we have:
\[
x \in (-\infty, 14)
\]
Thus, the domain of \( f(x) \) in interval notation is:
\[
\boxed{(-\infty, 14)}
\]
\[
14 - x > 0
\]
Solving this inequality, we add \( x \) to both sides:
\[
14 > x
\]
or equivalently,
\[
x < 14
\]
Additionally, there is no restriction on how low \( x \) can go, so we have:
\[
x \in (-\infty, 14)
\]
Thus, the domain of \( f(x) \) in interval notation is:
\[
\boxed{(-\infty, 14)}
