Domain and range question help!!?

How do i find the range of g where the function is given as
g(x) = x/x-2, x is a member of a real number, x >2.

The answer gives g(x) as >1 but i don't understand (?)

help please!

Try looking at the boundaries of the domain.
As x approaches 2, what does g(x) approach?
As x approaches infinity, what does g(x) approach?

Hope this helped

Since the restriction x>2 x > 2 is given, what does that mean about the denominator?

The denominator is larger than 0?

Okay, now think about the numerator and denominator with respect to each other.

In terms of size

the closer my denominator gets to 2 the larger it gets?
the larger my number to 2 the smaller it gets?
