\[\large\rm \lim_{x\to2^-}\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2-4}}\]Ok so if you try direct substitution, you're getting this weird situation,\[\large\rm \lim_{x\to2^-}\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2-4}}\quad=\quad \frac20\]The bottom is getting small small small, so overal, the fraction is blowing up really huge. Think of a really small number in the denominator,\[\large\rm \frac{2}{1/2000000}\]And then remember how fraction division works,\[\large\rm =2\frac{2000000}{1}=big~number\]
