The domain is # x in (3/2,5)uu(5,+oo)#. The range is #y in RR#

The function is

#y=ln(2x-3)/(x-5)#

For the domain, there are #2# points to consider

#{(2x-3>0),(x-5!=0):}#

#=>#, #{(x>3/2),(x!=5):}#

Therefore,

The domain is # x in (3/2,5)uu(5,+oo)#

For the range, calculate the following limits

#lim_(x->3/2)y=+oo#

#lim_(x->5^-)y=-oo#

#lim_(x->5^+)y=+oo#

#lim_(x->oo)y=0^+#

The range is #y in RR#
