**Title: Calculus: Understanding Limits through Graphs**

In this section, we explore how to determine the limits of functions using graphical representations. The exercises aim to find the limits using given graphs. Let’s delve into each exercise and analyze the corresponding graphs.

### Exercise 8: Calculating Limits through Tabular Values
This exercise provides a table and an expression to determine the limit as \( x \to 0^+ \).

**Expression:**
\[
\lim_{{x \to 0^+}} \frac{\frac{1}{2} + x - \frac{1}{2}}{2x}
\]

**Table:**
\[
\begin{array}{c|c|c|c|c|c}
x & 0.5 & 0.1 & 0.01 & 0.001 & 0 \\
\hline
f(x) & & & & & ? \\
\end{array}
\]
Analyze and compute the function value \( f(x) \) at approaching values of \( x \to 0^+ \).

### Exercises 9-12: Graphical Limit Determination
Each exercise has a graph of a function, and the task is to find the limit as \( x \) approaches a specific value.

#### Exercise 9:
- **Graph:** A piecewise-linear graph of \( y=f(x) \).
- **Points:** Intercepts at (0, 1) and passing through (-1, 3).
- **Limits:**
  - (a) \(\lim_{{x \to 0}} f(x)\)
  - (b) \(\lim_{{x \to -1}} f(x)\)

#### Exercise 10:
- **Graph:** A cubic-like graph of \( y=f(x) \).
- **Points:** Passing through (1, -2) and (3, 0).
- **Limits:**
  - (a) \(\lim_{{x \to 1}} f(x)\)
  - (b) \(\lim_{{x \to 3}} f(x)\)

#### Exercise 11:
- **Graph:** A linear graph of \( y=g(x) \).
- **Points:** Passing through (-1, 3) and (0, 1).
- **Limits:**
  - (a) \(\lim_{{x \to
