Are egg and sperm gametes and diploid?
Logan AllenNope!
They are haploid, not diploid, as you correctly point out when you refer to them as gametes.
There are only half as many chromosomes in sperm and eggs (keep in mind that one half is haploid).
Diploid refers to a number that is doubled (recall that dipl = two).

Julian AguilarYes, both egg and sperm are gametes, and they are haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes compared to diploid cells.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
