\(a,M=\dfrac{x-1}{\sqrt{x}\left(\sqrt{x}-1\right)}:\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-1+2}{\left(\sqrt{x}-1\right)\left(\sqrt{x}+1\right)}\\ M=\dfrac{\left(\sqrt{x}-1\right)\left(\sqrt{x}+1\right)}{\sqrt{x}\left(\sqrt{x}-1\right)}\cdot\dfrac{\left(\sqrt{x}-1\right)\left(\sqrt{x}+1\right)}{\sqrt{x}+1}\\ M=\dfrac{\left(\sqrt{x}-1\right)\left(\sqrt{x}+1\right)}{\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{x-1}{\sqrt{x}}\\ b,M< 2\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{x-1}{\sqrt{x}}-2< 0\\ \Leftrightarrow\dfrac{x-2\sqrt{x}-1}{\sqrt{x}}< 0\\ \Leftrightarrow x-2\sqrt{x}-1< 0\left(\sqrt{x}>0\right)\\ \Leftrightarrow\left(\sqrt{x}-1-\sqrt{2}\right)\left(\sqrt{x}-1+\sqrt{2}\right)< 0\\ \Leftrightarrow1-\sqrt{2}< \sqrt{x}< 1+\sqrt{2}\\ \Leftrightarrow3-2\sqrt{2}< x< 3+2\sqrt{2}\)
