Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:


f(x)=6x+2

and
g(x)=x-7

So,


(f/g)(x)=(f(x))/(g(x))


(f/g)(x)=(6x+2)/(x-7)

For the above function to be well defined the denominator has to be non-zero

So,

the domain restriction is:

x-7≠0

x≠7

Therefore

The domain is all real numbers except the number 7

i.e. the domain is: (-∞,7)∪(7,∞)
