Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I am trying to solve the following limit: ##\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 2} \frac{\left | x^2 + 3x + 2 \right |}{x^2 - 4} = \lim_{x\rightarrow 2} \frac{\left | (x + 1)(x + 2) \right |}{(x - 2)(x + 2)}##. However, I am not sure how to proceed. Normally, I would cancel out the factors, but I am not sure what do with the absolute value in the numerator.
