Domain: #(-oo, 1) uu (1, +oo)#
Range: #(-oo, 0) uu (0, + oo)#

Explanation:

The domain of the function will be restricted by the fact that the denominator cannot be equal to zero.

#x-1!=0 implies x!=1#

The domain will thus be #RR-{1}#, or #(-oo, 1) uu (1, +oo)#.

The range of the function will be restricted by the fact that this expression cannot be equal to zero, since the numerator is a constant.

The range of the function will thus be #RR-{0}#, or #(-oo, 0) uu (0, + oo)#.
