The expression has the following restrictions:
1. The expression is undefined when the denominator of any fraction is equal to zero. In this case, the expression has restrictions when:
- (x-5) = 0 ---> x = 5
- (x-2) = 0 ---> x = 2
- (x+2) = 0 ---> x = -2
Therefore, the expression is restricted for x = 5, x = 2, and x = -2.
