.


The denominator is  x^2-3x-4.


Factor it to identify its roots  x^2-3x-4 = (x-4)*(x+1).


Now you see that the roots are 4 and -1.


Hence, the domain is the set of all real numbers except of -1 and 4 
(because division by zero is PROHIBITED).


ANSWER.  The domain is the set of all real numbers except of -1 and 4.

Solved.
