The Hardy-Weinberg equation is used to predict the frequencies of alleles in a population from one generation to the next, assuming that certain conditions are met, such as no selection, no mutation, no migration, random mating, and a large population size. It is used in population genetics to study genetic variation and evolutionary processes within populations. The equation is: p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p and q represent the frequencies of the two alleles in a population and p^2, 2pq, and q^2 represent the frequencies of the three possible genotypes.

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.
