See below.

Explanation:

#f(x) =3ln(x-2)#

#f(x)# is the standard graph of #lnx# transformed ("shifted") +2 units on the #x-#axis and scaled by 3 units. These transformations can be seen by the grapgs below.

Graph 1; #y=lnx#

graph{lnx [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Graph 2: #y=ln(x-2)#

graph{ln(x-2) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Graph 3: #f(x)=3ln(x-2)#

graph{3ln(x-2) [-18.02, 18.02, -9, 9.02]}
