h(x)=x−5

g(x)=(x+2)(x+3)

(h/g)(-4)

((-4)-5)/((-4+2)(-4+3))
Plug and chug
Should come out to be -4.5

(x-5)/((x+2)(x+3))
To find the values not in the domain, you must set each quantity in the denominator equal to zero and solve for x.
x+2=0 x+3=0
x≠-2 x≠-3
If x were either of these numbers, the denominator of the fraction would equal zero, which would give an undefined answer.
