Chapter 3.1, Problem 3E

In Exercises 1–4, use the given table of values to estimate, for the given value of a, each of the following if they exist:

(a) $\underset{x\to a^{-}}{\lim }f\left(x\right)$

(b) $\underset{x\to a^{+}}{\lim }f\left(x\right)$

(c) $\underset{x\to a}{\lim }f\left(x\right)$

(d) $f\left(a\right)$ if it is defined

[HINT: See Example 1-3]
