The function is discontinuous at x=-1 and x=-4, because the denominator becomes 0

----------------
It's a request to solve the problem.
There's no "answer to a function."
----------------
There are discontinuities where the DEN = 0
That's at x = -1 and x = -4

division by 0 is undefined so first we look for values of x that make the denominator 0
:
the two points are -1 and -4
:
both of these points are non-removable discontinuities, that is, they represent asymptotes in the graph of the function
