See below...

In presence of organic peroxide, the halogen adds with the carbon in double bond having greater number of hydrogen atom.(antimarkovnikov addition)
It is called #"Kharash Effect or, Peroxide effect"#

The complete reaction of "CH"_3-"CH"="CH"_2 + "HBr" in the presence of an organic peroxide proceeds via a radical mechanism known as the anti-Markovnikov addition of HBr to an alkene. This results in the formation of "CH"_3-"CH"_2-"Br" and "CH"_3-"CH"_2-"CH"_2-"Br" products.

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.
