Answer:

domain: (-infin., infin.)

range: (-infin., infin.)

Explanation:

This is an odd degree polynomial which forms a sideways S shape starting low and ending high. Since nothing restricts the function from having an output for every real number input, the domain and range are (-infin., infin.).
