Ans :(a) f (−2) does not exist, since

it is not defined.
(b) lim f (x) does not exist, since
x→−2
it is divergent to ± ∞.
(c) f (0) = 4.
(d) lim f (x) does not exist, since
x→0
lim f (x) = 0.5 ̸= 4 = lim f (x).
x→0− x→0+
(e) f (2) does not exist, since
it is not defined.
(f) lim f (x) = 0.5.
x→2
(g) f (4) = 2.
(h) lim f (x) does not exist, since
x→4
it is divergent to ∞.
