Why does ice melt quicker when it is on the aluminum than when it is on plastic?
Is aluminum a better insulator than plastic?
How does this explain your observation that aluminum conducts heat more effectively than plastic—I assume you conducted the experiment—?

Aluminum is a better heat conductor than plastic, so heat from the environment can reach the ice more quickly, causing it to melt ice more quickly on aluminum than plastic.

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.
