Domain is determined by a square root, which is defined only for non-negative real numbers.
Therefore, domain of this function is x >= 3.

Function y=2sqrt(x-3)-3 is monotonically increasing with x increasing from x=3 to +oo.
At x=3 the function equals to -3. Then, as x increases, it increases to +oo.
Therefore, range of this function is -3 <= y <+oo.
