What is the relationship between solubility and precipitation?
I'll relate it all the stress. See Below
When you put ions into a solution, the solution can hold the ions in an aqueous state and they are said to be soluble. Solubility is like how much stress you can take during the day. A little stress and you are ok. A lot of stress and you start to get stressed out (but still ok).
When you reach a point where you can no longer handle stress—one more bit and you will burst, explode, break down, etc.—you are saturated, or at the point where you have reached the maximum number of ions in solution and are no longer able to fit.
After a saturation solution is reached, a little bit more ion addition causes the ions to precipitate out of solution because they have now exceeded their solubility and precipitation has started. If you add any more stress, everything collapses! You have a breakdown.
This is the general conceptual idea; there are equations and other things, so maybe that clarifies the larger idea.

Solubility and precipitation are inversely related. As solubility decreases, precipitation increases.

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.

- Sugar cubes are added to a solution of water and lemon juice to make lemonade. The solubility of sugar is 200 g/100 g #H_2O# at the temperature of the solution. What can be done to increase the rate of dissolution without affecting the solubility?
