### Calculus: Limits and Continuity

#### Question

Consider the function \( f(x) \) shown in the graph. Analyze the function around \( x = 2 \).

1. **Find the following limits:**
   - \( \lim_{{x \to 2^-}} f(x) \) = [______]
   - \( \lim_{{x \to 2^+}} f(x) \) = [______]
   - \( \lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x) \) = [______]
2. **Find \( f(2) \):** 
   - \( f(2) \) = [______]

3. **Determine if the function is continuous or discontinuous at the limit value \( x = 2 \). Also, indicate if the discontinuity is removable or non-removable.**
   - \( f(2) \) does not exist.
   - \( \lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x) \) does not exist.
   - \( f(2) \) and \( \lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x) \) both exist, but \( f(2) \neq \lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x) \).

#### Graph Description:
The graph of \( f(x) \) shows a parabola that opens upwards with a discontinuity at \( x = 2 \). There is a visible hole at \( (2, -2) \), indicating a removable discontinuity, and the function value at \( x = 2 \) is not defined on the graph.

#### Explanation:
- **Left-hand limit ( \( \lim_{{x \to 2^-}} f(x) \) ):** This is the value that the function approaches as \( x \) approaches 2 from the left.
- **Right-hand limit ( \( \lim_{{x \to 2^+}} f(x) \) ):** This is the value that the function approaches as \( x \) approaches 2 from the right.
- **Two-sided limit ( \( \lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x) \) ):** This is the value that the function approaches as \( x \) approaches 2 from both sides.
- **Value of the function at \( x = 2 \) ( \( f(2) \) ):**
