Limit of |x-2|/(x-2) as x approaches 2+?

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\large \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^+}\frac{|x-2|}{x-2}\] like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (idku):

for all values that are greater than 2, the x-2 is going to be positive anyway without the absolute value). So, you can re-write it as:\[\large \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^+}\frac{x-2}{x-2}\] and then: \[\large \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^+}1=1\]

OpenStudy (idku):

you can graph the function and see how does it behave from the right of x=2, and you will also find out that y=1 when x\(\rightarrow2^+\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes sense now. Thank you! :)
