### Question
Use the graph of \( h(x) \) shown below to evaluate \( \lim_{x \to -6} h(x) \), if possible. If the limit does not exist, enter ∅.

**Graph Analysis:**
The graph of \( h(x) \) is a continuous curve with several peaks and troughs. The x-axis ranges from -12 to 10, and the y-axis ranges from -10 to 6. There is a noticeable behavior at \( x = -6 \):

- The graph approaches different y-values from the left and right of \( x = -6 \).
- As \( x \) approaches -6 from the left, \( h(x) \) approaches approximately 3.
- As \( x \) approaches -6 from the right, \( h(x) \) approaches approximately -8.
- There is a blue dot at the point (-6, -8) indicating the value of the function \( h(-6) = -8 \).

Since the left-hand limit \( \lim_{x \to -6^-} h(x) \) and the right-hand limit \( \lim_{x \to -6^+} h(x) \) are not equal, the overall limit \( \lim_{x \to -6} h(x) \) does not exist.

**Graphical Representation:**
- The graph crosses the y-axis at approximately \( y = 1 \).
- It has a peak at around \( x = -4 \) and a trough at around \( x = 4 \).
- The curve is smooth and appears to be a polynomial function.

**Provide your answer below:**

\[ \lim_{x \to -6} h(x) = \boxed{\varnothing} \]
