Question
**Consider the following graph of a function \( f(x) \)**

*[Graph Description]:*

The graph illustrates a function \( f(x) \) with the following distinct features:

1. On the interval to the left of \( x = 0 \), the function is a smooth curve that approaches \( y = -1 \) as \( x \) approaches -1.
2. There is a discontinuous point at \( x = 1 \), where the function has a hole in the curve and a defined point above it around \( y = 1 \). The rest of the curve on either side of this discontinuity seems to be continuous.
3. Between \( x = 2 \) and \( x = 3 \), the graph is continuous and follows a rational curve shape.
4. At \( x = 4 \), the function shifts to a piecewise linear segment forming a sharp corner, which is a hallmark of non-differentiability at that point.

**Questions and Instructions:**

A. For what value(s) \( x \) is \( f \) discontinuous? If \( f \) is continuous everywhere, answer "none." Justify your answer using the conditions of continuity.

B. For what value(s) \( x \) is \( f \) non-differentiable? If \( f \) is differentiable everywhere, answer "none." Justify your answer using the conditions of differentiability.

C. What is \( \lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x) \) ? If the value does not exist, answer "DNE."

D. What is \( \lim_{{x \to 1}} f(x) \) ? If the value does not exist, answer "DNE."

E. What is \( \lim_{{x \to 3}} f(x) \) ? If the value does not exist, answer "DNE."

F. What is \( f(2) \) ? If the value does not exist, answer "DNE."
