The domain is x in (3/2,5)uu(5,+oo). The range is y in RR

Explanation:

The function is

y=ln(2x-3)/(x-5)

For the domain, there are 2 points to consider

{(2x-3>0),(x-5!=0):}

=>, {(x>3/2),(x!=5):}

Therefore,

The domain is x in (3/2,5)uu(5,+oo)

For the range, calculate the following limits

lim_(x->3/2)y=+oo

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

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

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

The range is y in RR

graph{ln(2x-3)/(x-5) [-5.73, 16.77, -4.24, 7.01]}
