1. Determine the domain of $$ f(x) = \ln(x+3)-2 $$:
   - The argument of the logarithm, $$ x+3 $$, must be positive:
     $$
     x+3 > 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x > -3.
     $$
   - Thus, the domain is:
     $$
     (-3, \infty).
     $$
     
2. Find the $$ x $$-intercept(s):
   - Set $$ f(x) = 0 $$ and solve:
     $$
     \ln(x+3)-2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \ln(x+3)=2.
     $$
   - Exponentiate both sides to remove the logarithm:
     $$
     x+3 = e^2.
     $$
   - Solve for $$ x $$:
     $$
     x = e^2 - 3.
     $$
     
Domain Selection:  
A. The domain of $$ f $$ is $$ (-3, \infty) $$.

$$ x $$-Intercept Selection:  
A. The $$ x $$-intercept of $$ f $$ is $$ x=e^2-3 $$.
The domain of $$ f $$ is $$ (-3, \infty) $$ and the $$ x $$-intercept is $$ x = e^2 - 3 $$.
