1. **Problem Statement:**
Evaluate the following for the function $f(x)$ based on the given graph:
(a) $f(3)$
(b) $\lim_{x \to 3} f(x)$
(c) $\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x)$
(d) $\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x)$
(e) $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)$
(f) $f(0)$
(g) Is $f$ continuous at $x=0$? Explain.
(h) $\lim_{x \to 2} f(x)$
2. **Key Concepts:**
- The value of the function at a point $x=a$ is $f(a)$.
- The limit $\lim_{x \to a} f(x)$ is the value $f(x)$ approaches as $x$ approaches $a$ from both sides.
- One-sided limits $\lim_{x \to a^-} f(x)$ and $\lim_{x \to a^+} f(x)$ are limits from the left and right respectively.
- A function is continuous at $x=a$ if $f(a)$ exists, $\lim_{x \to a} f(x)$ exists, and they are equal.
3. **Step-by-step Evaluation:**
**(a) Evaluate $f(3)$:**
From the graph, at $x=3$, the function value is approximately $2$.
**(b) Evaluate $\lim_{x \to 3} f(x)$:**
The graph near $x=3$ approaches $2$ from both sides, so $\lim_{x \to 3} f(x) = 2$.
**(c) Evaluate $\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x)$:**
Approaching $0$ from the left, the graph is near $0$, so $\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = 0$.
**(d) Evaluate $\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x)$:**
Approaching $0$ from the right, the graph is also near $0$, so $\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = 0$.
**(e) Evaluate $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)$:**
Since left and right limits at $0$ are equal, $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 0$.
**(f) Evaluate $f(0)$:**
From the graph, $f(0)$ is near $0$.
**(g) Is $f$ continuous at $x=0$?**
Since $f(0)$ exists and equals the limit $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 0$, $f$ is continuous at $x=0$.
**(h) Evaluate $\lim_{x \to 2} f(x)$:**
At $x=2$, the graph is smooth and near $1.5$, so $\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = 1.5$.
4. **Final Answers:**
(a) $f(3) = 2$
(b) $\lim_{x \to 3} f(x) = 2$
(c) $\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = 0$
(d) $\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = 0$
(e) $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 0$
(f) $f(0) = 0$
(g) $f$ is continuous at $x=0$
(h) $\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = 1.5$
