1. Determine the features of $y = \ln(x-2)$ and its asymptote.

The curve $y = \ln(x-2)$ is a translation of the standard logarithmic curve by $2$ units to the right.
Domain: $x - 2 > 0 \implies x > 2$.
Vertical asymptote: $x = 2$.
$x$-intercept: Let $y = 0 \implies \ln(x-2) = 0 \implies x-2 = 1 \implies x = 3$.
The $x$-intercept is $(3,0)$.

2. Determine the features of $y = \frac{1}{\text{e}^x} + 3$ and its asymptote.

The curve $y = \frac{1}{\text{e}^x} + 3 = \text{e}^{-x} + 3$ is a standard exponential decay curve shifted upwards by $3$ units.
As $x \to \infty$, $\text{e}^{-x} \to 0$, so $y \to 3$. Hence, horizontal asymptote is $y = 3$.
$y$-intercept: Let $x = 0 \implies y = \text{e}^0 + 3 = 4$.
The $y$-intercept is $(0,4)$.

3. Describe the combined sketch.

Draw the axes, mark the intercepts $(3,0)$ and $(0,4)$, and draw dashed lines for the asymptotes $x=2$ and $y=3$.
Sketch the logarithmic curve approaching $x=2$ downwards and growing towards the right.
Sketch the exponential curve decaying downwards and approaching $y=3$ asymptotically towards the right.
(Both curves intersect in the first quadrant).

1. Find the $x$-coordinate of the point of intersection using a graphing calculator.

Using a graphing calculator to solve the equation $\frac{1}{\text{e}^x} + 3 = \ln(x-2)$:
$x \approx 22.0855$

2. Determine the solution to the inequality using the visualised graphs and domain restrictions.

From the graphs sketched in part (i), the curve $y = \frac{1}{\text{e}^x} + 3$ lies above or on the curve $y = \ln(x-2)$ starting from the right of the vertical asymptote $x = 2$ up to the point of intersection.

Therefore, the solution is $2 < x \le 22.0855$.
Rounding to 3 significant figures, we get:
$2 < x \le 22.1$

1. State the solution to part (ii) to use as a foundation.

Since part (iii) depends on (ii), we first evaluate the solution to (ii).
Let $f(x) = \frac{1}{\text{e}^x} + 3$ and $g(x) = \ln(x-2)$.
Using a graphing calculator, the intersection of $y=f(x)$ and $y=g(x)$ is at $x = \alpha \approx 22.086$.
From the graphs sketched in (i), $f(x) \ge g(x)$ between the vertical asymptote $x = 2$ and the intersection point.
Thus, the solution to (ii) is $2 < x \le \alpha$.

2. Relate the inequality in (iii) to the result of (ii) using substitution.

The inequality $\frac{1}{\text{e}^{|x|}} + 3 \ge \ln(|x|-2)$ is identical to the inequality in (ii), but with $x$ replaced by $|x|$.
Substituting $|x|$ into the solution from (ii) gives:
$2 < |x| \le \alpha$

3. Solve the resulting modulus inequality.

The inequality $2 < |x| \le \alpha$ splits into two regions:
When $x > 0$, we have $2 < x \le \alpha$.
When $x < 0$, we have $2 < -x \le \alpha \implies -\alpha \le x < -2$.

Combining these and substituting $\alpha \approx 22.086$, we get:
$-22.086 \le x < -2 \text{ or } 2 < x \le 22.086$

Rounding to 3 significant figures, the final solution is:
$-22.1 \le x < -2 \text{ or } 2 < x \le 22.1$
