What is the domain of (f(x)=\frac{x^2-4}{x-2})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ( \mathbb{R}\setminus{2} )

The direct answer is option A, \(\mathbb R\setminus\{2\}\). The domain contains all real inputs for which the formula is defined. A fraction is undefined when its denominator is zero. Here the original denominator is \(x-2\), so we require \(x-2\ne0\), which means \(x\ne2\). Thus every real number except 2 belongs to the domain. Although \(x^2-4=(x-2)(x+2)\), cancelling gives \(f(x)=x+2\) only for \(x\ne2\). At \(x=2\), the original expression is \(0/0\), undefined; cancellation cannot restore that missing input. Option A is correct. Option B incorrectly includes 2. Option C incorrectly removes -2 as well, even though the original denominator at -2 is -4 and is non-zero. Option D includes only numbers less than 2 and wrongly omits all numbers greater than 2. Memory cue: for a rational function, inspect the original denominator before cancelling factors.
