Stellar parallax measurements are used in astronomy to determine which properties of stars?
Stellar parallax is used to determine the distance to nearby stars.
The diameter of Earth's orbit around the Sun is approximately 300 million kilometers, or 2 AU. The angle is known as the parallax angle, and the distance is equal to 1/p. Image credit: Astro utu FI.

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.
