Question

step 1 of 3: find \\(\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x)\\).

Explanation:

Identify the target limit

$$ \lim_{x \to 2^{-}} f(x) $$

Locate the x-value on the graph

The target value is \(x = 2\) from the left side (values of \(x\) slightly less than \(2\)).

Trace the function values

As \(x\) approaches \(2\) from the left, the curve approaches the solid point located at \((2, -2)\).

$$ \lim_{x \to 2^{-}} f(x) = -2 $$
