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
