Solution Steps

To analyze the function \( f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x+13}}{(x+3)(x-2)} \), we need to consider the domain of the function. The domain is determined by the conditions that the expression under the square root must be non-negative and the denominator must not be zero. Therefore, we need to find the values of \( x \) for which \( x+13 \geq 0 \) and \( (x+3)(x-2) \neq 0 \).

Step 1: Determine the Conditions for the Domain

To find the domain of the function \( f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x+13}}{(x+3)(x-2)} \), we first need to ensure that the expression under the square root is non-negative. This gives us the condition: \[ x + 13 \geq 0 \implies x \geq -13 \]

Step 2: Identify Points Where the Denominator is Zero

Next, we need to identify the points where the denominator is zero, as these points will not be included in the domain. The denominator is zero when: \[ (x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 \implies x = -3 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2 \]

Step 3: Combine the Conditions to Find the Domain

Now, we combine the conditions from Steps 1 and 2. The domain must satisfy \( x \geq -13 \) while excluding the points \( x = -3 \) and \( x = 2 \). Thus, the domain can be expressed in interval notation as: \[ [-13, -3) \cup (-3, 2) \cup (2, \infty) \]

Final Answer

The domain of the function \( f(x) \) is \[ \boxed{[-13, -3) \cup (-3, 2) \cup (2, \infty)} \]
