The domain of the function is the set of all real numbers with two exceptions. The smaller exception is
, and the larger is
.
The range of is the set of all real numbers
except
those in the interval
,
.
Hint:
Observe that we can't divide by zero, and we can't take the square root of a negative number. To find the interval that's not in the range look for critical numbers.
