Why is doing long division so complicated?

Determine the domain and range of the given function. the domain is all real numbers all real numbers greater than or equal to –2{x: x = –2, –1, 0, 1, 2}{y: y = –2, –1, 0, 1, 2}. the range is all real numbers all real numbers greater than or equal to –2{x: x = –2, –1, 0, 1, 2}{y: y = –2, –1, 0, 1, 2}.
