To find the limit of 1 / (x - 2)^2 as x approaches 2, we can use the concept of limits.
First, we substitute the value of x into the expression: 1 / (2 - 2)^2.
Since any number divided by zero is undefined, we cannot directly substitute x = 2 into the expression.
However, we can simplify the expression by factoring the denominator: (x - 2)^2 = (x - 2)(x - 2).
Canceling out the common factor of (x - 2), we are left with 1 / (x - 2).
Now, we can substitute x = 2 into this simplified expression: 1 / (2 - 2) = 1 / 0.
Again, any number divided by zero is undefined.
Therefore, the limit of 1 / (x - 2)^2 as x approaches 2 does not exist.

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.
