The domain is $x in RR$ .
The range is $yin RR$

The function is

$f(x)=(4x^2-4x-8)/(2x+2)=(4(x^2-x-2))/(2(x+1))=(2(x-2)cancel(x+1))/(cancel(x+1))$

$=2(x-2)$

This is the equation of a line, $y=2x-4$

The domain is $x in RR$

The range is $yin RR$

graph{(4x^2-4x-8)/(2x+2) [-18.02, 18.02, -9.01, 9.02]}
