The graph of 1/x lies above the graph of 1/(x-2) when

The critical points for this inequality are at x=0 and x=2.

On (-infinity,0) the denominator is positive, so the expression value is negative; the inequality is not satisfied.
On (0,2) the denominator is negative, so the expression value is positive; the inequality IS satisfied.
On (2,infinity) the denominator is again positive, so the expression value is negative; the inequality is not satisfied.

ANSWER: 1/x > 1/(x-2) for 0 < x < 2
