Answer

The denominator in the fraction is zero when $x=3$. However, when $x=3$ (in the second function), the result is as follows: $(x+2)(x-3)\geq 0$ $(3+2)(3-3)\geq 0$ $5*0 \geq 0$ $0 \geq 0$ (true)

Work Step by Step

Thus, when $x=3$, the first function is undefined, and the second function is true.
