SUMMARY
The limit calculation discussed involves finding the limit as \( x \) approaches 2 for the expression \( \dfrac{\sqrt{6-x}-2}{\sqrt{3-x}-1} \). The solution requires rationalizing both the numerator and the denominator, leading to the final result of \( \dfrac{1}{2} \). The steps include multiplying by the conjugate and simplifying the expression to eliminate the indeterminate form. The final limit is confirmed as \( \dfrac{1}{2} \).
