Explanation:

Step1: Determine the function for \(f - g\)

We know that \(f(x)=3x + 4\) and \(g(x)=2x-5\). Then \((f - g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=(3x + 4)-(2x - 5)=x + 9\) (from the given simplified form). But for the domain of \(\frac{f}{g}(x)\) we need to consider the denominator, but for \(f - g\), we need to check where the function is defined. Wait, actually, for \(f - g\), since both \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\) are linear functions (polynomials), their difference is also a polynomial. But wait, no, wait the question about the domain of \(f - g\) might be a typo? Wait, no, looking back, the user might have mixed up, but actually, the domain of \(f - g\) when \(f\) and \(g\) are polynomials (like here \(f(x)=3x + 4\) and \(g(x)=2x-5\)) is all real numbers? But that contradicts, wait no, maybe the question is about the domain of \(\frac{f}{g}(x)\)? Wait no, the problem says "The domain of \(f - g\) is". Wait, no, let's re - examine.

Wait, actually, the function \(f(x)=3x + 4\) and \(g(x)=2x-5\) are both linear functions (polynomial functions of degree 1). The sum, difference, and product of polynomial functions are also polynomial functions. The domain of a polynomial function is all real numbers \((-\infty,\infty)\). But wait, maybe there was a mistake, and the question is about the domain of \(\frac{f}{g}(x)\)? Wait, no, the user's problem says "The domain of \(f - g\) is". But let's check the other part, the domain of \(\frac{f}{g}(x)\) is found by setting the denominator \(g(x)=0\).

Wait, \(g(x)=2x - 5\), set \(2x-5 = 0\), then \(2x=5\), so \(x=\frac{5}{2}\). So for the function \(\frac{f}{g}(x)=\frac{3x + 4}{2x-5}\), the domain is all real numbers except \(x = \frac{5}{2}\), which is \((-\infty,\frac{5}{2})\cup(\frac{5}{2},\infty)\). But the problem says "The domain of \(f - g\) is". This might be a mistake in the problem statement, but if we assume that it's a mistake and the intended function is \(\frac{f}{g}(x)\), then the domain is found by excluding the value of \(x\) that makes the denominator zero.

1. Find the value that makes the denominator zero:

For the function \(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\) where \(f(x)=3x + 4\) and \(g(x)=2x-5\), we set the denominator \(g(x)=0\).
Solve the equation \(2x-5 = 0\).
Add 5 to both sides: \(2x=5\).
Divide both sides by 2: \(x=\frac{5}{2}\).

1. Determine the domain:

The domain of a rational function \(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\) is all real numbers except the values of \(x\) that make \(g(x) = 0\). So we exclude \(x=\frac{5}{2}\) from the set of all real numbers.
In interval notation, the domain is \((-\infty,\frac{5}{2})\cup(\frac{5}{2},\infty)\).

(Note: If we strictly consider \(f - g(x)=x + 9\), the domain is \((-\infty,\infty)\), but this is likely a mis - statement in the problem, and the intended function is \(\frac{f}{g}(x)\) or there was a mix - up. Given the presence of the \(\frac{f}{g}(x)\) function with denominator \(2x - 5\), we assume that the domain of \(f - g\) was a mis - print and the intended function is \(\frac{f}{g}(x)\) or the domain of \(f - g\) is actually all real numbers, but the answer provided here is for the domain of \(\frac{f}{g}(x)\) as it's a more non - trivial domain problem with a restriction.)

Answer:

\((-\infty, \frac{5}{2}) \cup (\frac{5}{2}, \infty)\)
