Question
For the function 

\[ f(x) = \begin{cases} 
2x - 3, & 0 \leq x < 4 \\
7, & x = 4 \\
x^2 - 8x + 21, & 4 < x 
\end{cases} \]

use algebra to find each of the following limits:

\[ \lim_{{x \to 4^+}} f(x) = \]
\[ \lim_{{x \to 4^-}} f(x) = \]
\[ \lim_{{x \to 4}} f(x) = \]

(For each, enter DNE if the limit does not exist.)

Sketch a graph of \( f(x) \) to confirm your answers.
