You have to avoid a zero denominator so we start with the restriction:

Next, note that on the interval , , but since on this same interval, on that interval. Since is undefined for , the interval must be excluded from the domain.

On the interval , and , hence on that interval, and the function is again undefined. Hence, exclude from the domain.

So the domain is all real numbers except real numbers in the two excluded ranges:

Domain:

Since this is a positive square root and we have shown that there is a value in the domain, namely -4 that results in a zero value for the function, the range is
