How can crystallization be induced in a supersaturated solution?
Supersaturated solutions are extremely unstable because they contain more solute than should be possible.
There are several methods for causing the solute to crystallize:
Add a crystal of the solute; in certain cases, any tiny particle—even dust—will work.
Scratch the interior of the glass container.

Crystallization can be induced in a supersaturated solution by cooling the solution slowly, adding a seed crystal, or agitating the solution to promote nucleation.

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.
