How do you find domain and range for f(x)=5x3?

I found:
Domain: all real x except x=3;
Range: <x<0 or 0<x<+

Explanation:

The domain odf your function represents the set of allowed x values; in your case the only forbidden x value is x=3 that would make your denominator equal to zero and induce a division by zero!

The range (the possible y values of your function) is a little bit tricky. Apparently your function will give you every value of y but if you consider x VERY large you'll see that your function will gets near zero but never reach it. So your function will give you every real value from to getting as near as possible to zero without ever reaching it!

Graphically:
graph{5/(x-3) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
