The domain of y is D_y=RR-{-1}
The range of y, that is, R_y=RR-{0}

Explanation:

As you cannot divide by 0,

4x+4!=0

x!=-1

The domain of y is D_y=RR-{-1}

To find the range, we calculate y^-1

y=-3/(4x+4)

(4x+4)y=-3

4x+4=-3/y

4x=-3/y-4=-(3+4y)/(4y)

x=-(3+4y)/(16y)

Therefore,

y^-1=-(3+4x)/(16x)

The domain of y^-1 is =RR-{0}

This is the range of y, that is, R_y=RR-{0}
