f(x)=\frac3{x+2}-√(x-3)

Two immediate observations:

(1) Clearly, we can't have
x=-2, since that would make both the rational and the square root terms undefined.

(2) If
x is real, then
\sqrt x only exists if
x\ge0. This means that for
√(x-3) to exist, we require
x-3\ge0\implies x\ge3.

If
x\ge3, then we don't have to worry about
x ever taking on a value of -2.
