Answer:

B) all real values of x except x=5

Explanation:

If
f(x)=x^2-25 and
g(x)=x-5, then
\bigr((f)/(g)\bigr)(x)=(f(x))/(g(x))=(x^2-25)/(x-5)=((x-5)(x+5))/((x-5)).

Given that
x-5 exists in both the numerator and denominator, this creates a hole on the graph of the function where
x=5 since
5-5=0all real values of x except x=5 is correct.

Review the attached graph for more information
