4. Given the following conditions, sketch a possible graph that satisfies ALL of them at the same time.
Try to make sure that your sketch has a domain as close to x  as possible.

o lim f  x    o lim f  x    o lim f  x   1

x  x 2 x 4

o lim f  x   3 o f  0  3 o f  4  7
x 4

o lim f  x   1 o f  2  2 o lim f  x   2
x 4 x 
o lim f  x   6
o f  4   1 x 2

o f  3  0 o lim f  x   3
x 2
