Below is the graph of \(f\left( x \right)\). For each of the given points determine the value of \(f\left( a \right)\), \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {a^{\, - }}} f\left( x \right)\), \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {a^{\, + }}} f\left( x \right)\), and \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} f\left( x \right)\). If any of the quantities do not exist clearly explain why.

\[\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {2^{\, - }}} f\left( x \right) = 1\hspace{0.75in}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {2^{\, + }}} f\left( x \right) = - 4\hspace{0.75in}f\left( 2 \right) = 1\]
Solution
