To simplify (5 * 10^-3) / (2 * 10^-4), divide the numbers and subtract the exponents: (5 / 2) * 10^(-3 - (-4)), which simplifies to (5 / 2) * 10^(4 - 3), then to (5 / 2) * 10^1, finally resulting in 2.5 * 10^1 or 25.

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.
