h(x)=(f(x))/(g(x))=(x^2+x-20)/(x+5)=(x^2+x+4x-4x-20)/(x+5)=\\\\\\= (x^2+5x-4x-20)/(x+5)=(x(x+5)-4(x+5))/(x+5)=((x+5)(x-4))/(x+5)=\\\\\\=\boxed{x-4}

We see, that g(x) is in denominator, so:


g(x)\\eq0\\\\x+5\\eq0\\\\\boxed{x\\eq-5}

and the domain of
h(x) is the set of all real numbers without
x=-5.
