SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the right and left hand limits of the function h(x) as x approaches 0, 1, and 2. It establishes that as x approaches 0 from the left, the limit is equivalent to lim_{x→0^-} f(x) = x, while from the right, it is lim_{x→0^+} f(x) = x². The conversation clarifies the definitions and calculations of one-sided limits in calculus, providing a clear understanding of how to evaluate them for specific functions.
