Give the Domain and Range for the Rational Function $$f ( x ) = - \frac { 1 } { ( x - 8 ) ^ { 2 } } + 9$$

Multiple Choice

Give the domain and range for the rational function. Use interval notation.
- $$f ( x ) = - \frac { 1 } { ( x - 8 ) ^ { 2 } } + 9$$

A) Domain: $( - \infty , 8 ) \cup ( 8 , \infty )$ ; Range: $( - \infty , 9 )$
B) Domain: $( - \infty , - 8 ) \cup ( - 8 , \infty )$ ; Range: $( - \infty , 9 )$
C) Domain: $( - \infty , 8 ) \cup ( 8 , \infty )$ ; Range: $( 9 , \infty )$
D) Domain: $( - \infty , 8 ) \cup ( 8 , \infty )$ ; Range: $( - \infty , 0 )$
