Question
### Question on Limits from Graphs

Use the graph to determine whether each statement is true or false.

#### Statement:
\[ \lim_{{x \to -2^+}} f(x) = \lim_{{x \to -2^-}} f(x) \]

#### Graph Explanation:
The graph provided shows a coordinate plane with the x-axis ranging from -5 to 5 and the y-axis ranging from -3 to 5. The graph includes a piecewise function represented by different parts:

1. As \( x \) approaches -2 from the right (\( x \to -2^+ \)), the function \( f(x) \) approaches the value 3. This is indicated by the open circle at the point (−2, 3) on the graph.
  
2. As \( x \) approaches -2 from the left (\( x \to -2^- \)), the function \( f(x) \) approaches the value -1. This is indicated by the graph approaching the point (-2, -1) and a closed circle at the point (-2, -1).

### Multiple Choice Question:
**Is the given statement true or false?**

- False
- True
