    For the first one, the domain is (-infinity , 4) U (4 , +infinity) (all real numbers except 4)
    For the second one, the domain is (-infinity , 5) U (5 , +infinity) (all real numbers except 5)

    do you understand why 4 and 5, respectively, are not included in the domain? It's simply because dividing by zero is not defined.
