#"see explanation"#

Explanation:

#(f/g)(x)=(f(x))/(g(x))=(x+2)/(x-2)#

#"the denominator cannot be zero as this would make"#
#(f/g)(x)" undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and"#
#"solving gives the value that x cannot be"#

#"solve "x-2=0rArrx=2larrcolor(red)"excluded value"#

#rArr"domain is "x inRR,x!=2#
