Answer:

A

Explanation:

f(x) =
(x-3)/(x+2)

The denominator cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be.

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2 ← excluded value in the domain

The domain of f(x) is all real values of x such that x ≠ - 2
