This can be shown in \cref{fig:loaded-voltage-divider} by adding a load, in this case a resistor $R_L$. Now the total resistance of the parallel resistors $R_2$ and $R_L$ calculates to \begin{equation*} - R_x = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_L}} + R_x = R_2 \parallel R_L = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_L}} \end{equation*} and the result of this is smaller than $R_2$ and $R_L$. The load changes the voltage divider and this changes the output voltage $U_o$.
