01b Limits - Graphically with Key

The document presents a series of calculus problems focused on finding limits of functions defined by their graphs. It includes multiple functions and specifies the limits to be calculated at various points, along with the answers for each limit. The solutions demonstrate the process of determining whether the limits exist and their values.
