Given f%28x%29=abs%28x-7%29 and g%28x%29=abs%28x%2B5%29,
the quotient function:
f%28x%29%2Fg%28x%29=abs%28x-7%29%2Fabs%28x%2B5%29
domain: since denominator can not be equal to zero, exclude values that will make denominator equal to zero
x%2B5%3C%3E0
x%3C%3E-5
domain is: {x element R : x<>-5}
(-infinity,-5%29+U+%28%7B%7B%7B-5,infinity)

so, answer is:
D. (-infinity,-5%29+U+%28%7B%7B%7B-5,infinity)
