Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Limit as x approaches -4 from the left
We observe the graph of \(f(x)\) as \(x\) approaches \(-4\) from the left. The graph appears to approach the value \(y=2\).
Step 2: Limit as x approaches -2
We observe the graph of \(f(x)\) as \(x\) approaches \(-2\) from both the left and right. The graph approaches the value \(y=1\).
Step 3: Value of f(-2)
We observe the graph of \(f(x)\) at \(x=-2\). There is an open circle at \((-2, 1)\) and a closed circle at \((-2, 2)\). The value of \(f(-2)\) is given by the closed circle, so \(f(-2) = 2\).
Final Answer:
a. \\(\boxed{\lim_{x \rightarrow -4^-} f(x) = 2}\\)
b. \\(\boxed{\lim_{x \rightarrow -2} f(x) = 1}\\)
c. \\(\boxed{f(-2) = 2}\\)
