![**Use the graph to evaluate the limit.**
\[\lim_{{x \to -1}} f(x)\]
A graph is shown with an x-axis ranging from -6 to 6 and a y-axis ranging from -8 to 8. There is a function \( f(x) \) plotted on the graph. The graph shows that as \(x\) approaches -1 from both sides, the value of \(f(x)\) approaches \(\frac{3}{4}\), but there is a black dot at the point (-1, -1) indicating \(f(-1) = -1\). This suggests a discontinuity at \(x = -1\).
**Multiple Choice Answers:**
- \(\frac{3}{4}\)
- -1
- \(\infty\)
- \(\frac{3}{4}\) (selected)
The correct answer is \(\frac{3}{4}\).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8b1f7975-4b0c-45ff-85b5-d245674b95f7%2Fcefef7e9-4432-45d3-9a28-bed781c3b7e4%2Fxds2cee.png&w=3840&q=75)
