Question 57060: I need to find any real numbers for which the following expression is undefined. I just can't seem to grasp it.

X+2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
X-5___
X+2
-------------
It looks like x+2 is in the denominator.
If that is so you know the expression is
undefined if the denominator is zero.
Your denominator is zero when x=-2
That is when the expression is undefined.
