![For the function \( f(x) \) shown below, determine \( \lim_{{x \to 4}} f(x) \).
\[
f(x) =
\begin{cases}
-2x + 10 & \text{for } x < 4 \\
-x^2 + 10 & \text{for } x > 4
\end{cases}
\]
This piecewise function \( f(x) \) has two different expressions depending on whether \( x \) is less than or greater than 4. To determine the limit of \( f(x) \) as \( x \) approaches 4, we need to evaluate the left-hand limit \( \lim_{{x \to 4^-}} f(x) \) and the right-hand limit \( \lim_{{x \to 4^+}} f(x) \) separately.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F991e22e9-7073-4035-a9d1-c12914250c1e%2F29e71384-b749-4bba-959d-58a60d272b2e%2Fkwq336g_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
