Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Function Value
The function value at a specific point, denoted as f(a), represents the output of the function when the input is a. In this case, f(2) = 1 indicates that when x equals 2, the function's output is 1. This is a crucial point to plot on the graph.

Initial Value Problems
Limit
The limit of a function as x approaches a certain value describes the behavior of the function near that point, regardless of the actual value at that point. Here, lim x→2 f(x) = 3 means that as x gets closer to 2, the function values approach 3, which is important for understanding the function's behavior around x = 2.

One-Sided Limits
Graphical Representation
Graphical representation involves plotting points on a coordinate system to visualize the behavior of a function. In this scenario, the graph should show a point at (2, 1) and indicate that as x approaches 2 from either side, the function approaches the value 3, which may require a hole or a jump in the graph to reflect the limit behavior.
