The domain is -4<=x<=-24x2 and the range is 0<=y<=pi/40yπ4.

Explanation:

The ordinary domain and range of arccosine are
-1<=x<=11x1 and 0<=y<=pi0yπ, respectively.

The given function, arccos(x+3)/4arccos(x+3)4, is shifted 3 units to the left and scaled by a factor of 1/414.

The new domain is -4<=x<=-24x2 (shifted 3 units to the left of the original) and the new range is 0<=y<=pi/40yπ4.
