Question
### Limits

1. Below is a graph of the function \( g(x) \). Find each limit as listed below. If the limit does not exist, provide that as your answer.

#### Graph Explanation
- The graph shows the function \( g(x) \) plotted on a coordinate plane.
- The x-axis ranges from -6 to 6, while the y-axis ranges from -4 to 3.
- The function exhibits several key features, such as peaks, troughs, and a gap at \( x = 3 \).

#### Limits to Find:
a. \( \lim_{{x \to -4}} g(x) = \)  
b. \( \lim_{{x \to 2}} g(x) = \)  
c. \( \lim_{{x \to 4}} g(x) = \)  

2. Find the following limit, show your work:  
\[
\lim_{{h \to 0}} \frac{{(5-h)^2 - 25}}{h}
\]

Expert Solution
Step 1

Graph for a function gx is given.

To find :

a. limx-4gxb. limx2g(x)c. limx4g(x)

Limit of a function is defined as the value to which a function approaches as x approaches some value.

The left hand limit of a function is defined as the value to which a function approaches when variable approaches the limit from the left. 

The right hand limit of a function is defined as the value to which a function approaches when variables approaches the limit from the right.

Limit of a function exists only when left hand limit equals to the right hand limit.
