finding the limit x aproaches 2 from the right [absolute (x-2)]/x-2 , any hints would be awsome :).
 
When x > 2, what is the sign on x - 2? So what is the simplification of |x - 2|? So what is the simplification of |x - 2|/(x - 2)?

how do you simplify that? , when x>2 the sign is positive (+). i'm really stuck here, :)
 
So if x - 2 is positive, how do you write "|x - 2|" without the bars?

Eliz.
 
x+2?

i'm trying to understand where you're leadding me to, but so far, i'm still lost :)
 
Why would |x - 2| become "x + 2"? This is valid only if x = 0.

Eliz.
 
If x>2 then |x−2|/(x−2) = (x−2)/(x−2).
If x<2 then |x−2|/(x−2) = −(x−2)/(x−2).

BTW: to type | go to the “ \” key. Ten used the shift key.
