Answer

(a)=0 (b)=0 (c)=0 (d)=3

Work Step by Step

(a)$\lim\limits_{x \to -2^-} F(x) =0$ As "x" is approaching to -2 from left side along the curve F(x) therefore $F(x)=0$. (b)$\lim\limits_{x \to -2^+} F(x) =0$ As "x" is approaching to -2 from right side along the curve F(x) therefore $F(x)=0$. (c)$\lim\limits_{x \to -2} F(x) =0$ By the Theorem 1.1.3 $\lim\limits_{x \to a } f(x) = L $ if and only if $\lim\limits_{x \to a ^-} f(x) = L = \lim\limits_{x \to a ^+} f(x) = L $ The relationship between one sided and two sided limits (d)$F(-2)=3$ We do have a hole on curve at x=-2 ,so point above it represent value of F(-2) that is 3.
