The #lnx#-function only accepts positive values of #x#

There is no upper limit to #x# so the domain is:
#0 < x < oo#

As #x# gets smaller the value of #lnx# gets more and more negative, or in 'the language':

#lim_(x->0) lnx=-oo#

Meaning #x=0# is the (only) vertical asymptote

The #x-#intercept is when #lnx+2=0->lnx=-2#
This means that #x=e^(-2)~~0.135...#

The range of the function is from #-oo# to #+oo#
