Which electrons get removed to form #"Ar"^+# and #"Ar"^(2+)#?
Any electron removed during an ionization is from the orbital that is currently highest in energy.

The electrons that get removed to form "Ar"^+ are the outermost electrons in the argon atom's electron configuration, specifically from the 3p orbital. To form "Ar"^(2+), additional electrons are removed, typically from the 3s orbital, resulting in the removal of two electrons in total.

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.
