### Explanation:

#### Understanding Limits:

1. **One-Sided Limits:**
   - \(\lim_{x \to a^{-}} f(x)\) refers to the limit of \(f(x)\) as \(x\) approaches \(a\) from the left (less than \(a\)).
   - \(\lim_{x \to a^{+}} f(x)\) refers to the limit of \(f(x)\) as \(x\) approaches \(a\) from the right (greater than \(a\)).

2. **Two-Sided Limits:**
   - \(\lim_{x \to a} f(x)\) refers to the limit of \(f(x)\) as \(x\) approaches \(a\) from both sides. This limit exists if and only if both one-sided limits exist and are equal.

3. **Function Value:**
   - \(f(a)\) refers to the actual value of the function at \(x = a\).

#### Common Scenarios where Limits Do Not Exist (DNE):

1. If the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit are not equal.
2. If the function approaches infinity or negative infinity as \(x\) approaches the specified point.
3. If the function exhibits oscillatory behavior (e.g., \( \sin(\frac{1}{x}) \) as \(x\) approaches 0).

In these examples, the responses given for parts (d), (

### Calculating Limits Using a Graph

To determine the value of each limit using the graph of \( g \), observe the behavior of \( g \) as \( x \) approaches the specified value. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.

#### Graph Description:
- **Axes**: The graph features a Cartesian coordinate system with the \( x \)-axis ranging from \( -2 \) to \( 6 \) and the \( y \)-axis ranging from \( -4 \) to \( 6 \).
- **Curve of \( g \)**: The curve \( g \) has the following notable points:
  - A closed dot at \( (-2, -2) \)
  - An open circle at \( (0, -1) \)
  - A closed dot at \( (2, 1) \)
  - An open circle at \( (3, 1.5) \)
  - A closed dot at \( (4, 2) \)
  - An open circle at \( (5, 2.5) \)
- **Behavior**:
  - **Near \( x = 0 \)**: As \( x \) approaches 0 from the left, the value of \( g(x) \) approaches \( -1 \). Similarly, as \( x \) approaches 0 from the right, the value of \( g(x) \) also approaches \( -1 \).

#### Problems and Solutions:

(a) \[
\lim_{{x \to 0^-}} g(x)
\]
Looking at the graph from the left of \( x = 0 \), the function \( g(x) \) approaches \( -1 \) as \( x \) approaches \( 0 \).

**Answer**: \[
\lim_{{x \to 0^-}} g(x) = -1
\]

(b) \[
\lim_{{x \to 0^+}} g(x) 
\]
Looking at the graph from the right of \( x = 0 \), the function \( g(x) \) also approaches \( -1 \) as \( x \) approaches \( 0 \).

**Answer**: \[
\lim_{{x \to 0^+}} g(x) = -1
\]

(c) \[
\lim_{{x \to 0}} g(x)
\]
Since both one
