Math Problem Statement

Find the domain of f(x)= x+2/x-2

Solution

To find the domain of the function f(x)=x+2x2f(x) = \frac{x+2}{x-2}, we need to determine the values of xx for which the function is defined. The function is undefined when the denominator is equal to zero because division by zero is not allowed.

Steps to find the domain:

  1. Identify the denominator: The denominator of the function is x2x - 2.

  2. Set the denominator equal to zero and solve for xx: x2=0x - 2 = 0 x=2x = 2 So, the function is undefined when x=2x = 2.

  3. State the domain: The domain of the function f(x)=x+2x2f(x) = \frac{x+2}{x-2} includes all real numbers except x=2x = 2.

Conclusion:

The domain of f(x)=x+2x2f(x) = \frac{x+2}{x-2} is: xR,x2\boxed{x \in \mathbb{R}, x \neq 2}
