Answer

$2 \lt x \lt 8$

Work Step by Step

We have $g(x)=\dfrac{3}{x-2}=\dfrac{3}{3-[-(x-5)]}$ or, $=\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} (\dfrac{-1}{3})^n (x-5)^n$ The series will converge when $|g(x)|=|\dfrac{3}{3-[-(x-5)]}| \lt 1$ So, $|\dfrac{x-5}{3 }| \lt 1$ $ \implies |x+5| \lt 3$ $ \implies -3 \lt x-5 \lt 5$ $\implies 2 \lt x \lt 8$
