The domain is =RR-{1}
The range is =RR-{0}

Explanation:

As you cannot divide by 0, =>, x!=1

Therefore,

The domain of x is D_x=RR-{1}

The limit of y as x->oo is

lim_(x->-oo)y=lim_(x->-oo)5/x=0^(-)

lim_(x->+oo)y=lim_(x->+oo)5/x=0^(+)

There is a horizontal asymptote at y=0

Therefore,

The range is R_y =RR-{0}
