Transcribed Image Text:**Problem:**
Using the same graph of \( f(x) \), what is \( \lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x) \)?
**Graph Description:**
- The graph of \( f(x) \) is plotted on a Cartesian plane with the x-axis ranging from 0 to 5 and the y-axis ranging from -2 to 2.
- The graph has the following key features:
- It starts above the x-axis at \( (0, 2) \).
- It decreases and crosses the x-axis around \( x = 1 \).
- Continues downward reaching a low point before \( x = 2 \).
- Between \( x = 2 \) and \( x = 3 \), the graph increases to form a peak.
- The graph then decreases and passes through a minimum point at \( x = 4 \).
- There is an open circle at \( (4, 0) \) and a solid dot above it.
**Choices:**
- \(\circ\) -2
- \(\circ\) 0
- \(\circ\) doesn't exist
- \(\circ\) -1
- \(\circ\) 2
The task is to determine the limit of \( f(x) \) as \( x \) approaches 2. The given points, shifts, and behavior of the graph must be analyzed to find this limit.
