\[\textbf{а)}\ \sqrt{2x - 1} < x - 2\]
\[\left\{ \begin{matrix} 2x - 1 < (x - 2)^{2} \\ 2x - 1 \geq 0\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ x - 2 > 0\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ \]
\[\left\{ \begin{matrix} 2x - 1 < x^{2} - 4x + 4 \\ x \geq 0,5\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ x > 2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ \]
\[x^{2} - 6x + 5 > 0\]
\[D_{1} = 9 - 5 = 4\]
\[x_{1} = 3 + 2 = 5;\]
\[x_{2} = 3 - 2 = 1;\]
\[(x - 1)(x - 5) < 0\]
\[x < 1;\ \ \ x > 5.\]
\[\left\{ \begin{matrix} x < 1\ \ \ \\ x > 5\ \ \ \\ x \geq 0,5 \\ x > 2\ \ \ \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ \]
\[x > 5.\]
\[Ответ:x > 5.\]
