What are the methods in finding the range and domain of an equation?
---------------
Here's an example:
y = [sqrt(x-2)]/(x-5)
-------------------------
Domain:
The denominator must not be zero, so x cannot be 5.
The radicand cannot be negative, so x cannot be less than 2
So the domain is (2,5)U(5,+inf)
-------------------------------
Range:
The easiest way to see the range is to graph the function:

===================
The range is all Real Numbers
---------
If you had [sqrt(x-2)/(x-5)]^2 the domain would not
change but the range would be all Real Numbers greater
that or equal to zero.

==============================
