As an expression, you need to specify whether you are talking about real or complex functions. If real, the domain is x > 10. If complex, anything. To get the range for real, it is customary to define it to be all positive numbers, although all real numbers are in the range, since it is double-valued.

The domain is $\displaystyle \ x \ge 10.$
