Answer

(0.159, 3.146) (in interval notation)

Work Step by Step

This question asks to solve the inequality graphically Given $ \ln x > x-2$ Graph $f(x) = \ln x$ and $g(x) = x-2$ Then find intervals of x such that f(x) > g(x) According to the graph below, $\ln x$ (in red) is greater than $x-2$ (in black) from the interval (0.159, 3.146) Thus (0.159, 3.146) is the answer
