Answer

Domain:$\quad (-\infty, 2) \cup (2, \infty)$ or, $\{x\in \mathbb{R}\ |\ x\neq 2\}$

Work Step by Step

Logarithmic functions are defined for positive arguments only. The argument here is $(x-2)^{2}$, which is never negative. The only problem is when it is zero. So, the domain is all reals except 2. Domain:$\quad (-\infty, 2) \cup (2, \infty)$ or, $\{x\in \mathbb{R}\ |\ x\neq 2\}$
