How do I graph the function, g(x) = 2log(base 3) (x+2) +3 ?

Question

looks more or less like the graph of y = ln(x) only shifted up two 3 units and to the left two units.  if you have to do it for a class you should plot a couple points. choose them so when you add 2 you get a power of three. for example $$x=-1$$
$$g(-1)=2log_3(-1+2)+3=2log_3(1)+3=0+3=3$$

thank you!!!

$$x=1$$
$$g(1)=2log_2(1+2)+3=2log_3(3)+3=2\times 1 +3=5$$

hope it is clear what y = ln(x) looks like if not google it to get a nice picture.  
also hope it is clear why $$log(1)=0$$
and why $$log_3(3)=1$$

so you want your input to be a power of 3.  pick x = 7 to get input of 9 etc. also typo in my first line.  i meant up 3, left 2
