The image is displayed. Let's go through the problems one by one to solve the limits and then address the graphs.

### 9. \(\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^3}{X}\)

To solve this:
\[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^3}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} x^2 = 0
\]
Thus, the limit is \(0\).

---

### 10. \(\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^4 - 1}{x^2 - 1}\)

Factor both the numerator and the denominator:
\[
x^4 - 1 = (x^2 - 1)(x^2 + 1) \quad \text{and} \quad x^2 - 1 = (x - 1)(x + 1)
\]
So, we have:
\[
\frac{(x^2 - 1)(x^2 + 1)}{x^2 - 1} = x^2 + 1
\]
Now, taking the limit as \(x \to 1\):
\[
\lim_{x \to 1} (x^2 + 1) = 1^2 + 1 = 2
\]
Thus, the limit is \(2\).

### 11. \(\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)\), where \(f(x)\) is piecewise:

\[
f(x) = \begin{cases} 
x + 3, & x < 0 \\
-x + 3, & x \geq 0 
\end{cases}
\]
We need to check the left-hand limit (\(x \to 0^-\)) and right-hand limit (\(x \to 0^+\)):

- For \(x \to 0^-\) (from the left), use \(f(x) = x + 3\):
  \[
  \lim_{x \to 0^-} (x + 3) = 0 + 3 = 3
  \]
  
- For \(x \to 0^+\) (from the right), use \(f(x) = -x + 3\):
  \[
  \lim_{x \to 0^+} (-x + 3) = -0 + 3 = 3
  \]

Since both the left-hand and right-hand limits are equal, the limit is:
\[
\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 3
\]

---

### 12. \(\lim_{x \to 2} f(x)\), where \(f(x)\) is piecewise:

\[
f(x) = \begin{cases} 
x, & x < 2 \\
x + 1, & x \geq 2 
\end{cases}
\]
- For \(x \to 2^-\) (from the left), use \(f(x) = x\):
  \[
  \lim_{x \to 2^-} x = 2
  \]

- For \(x \to 2^+\) (from the right), use \(f(x) = x + 1\):
  \[
  \lim_{x \to 2^+} (x + 1) = 2 + 1 = 3
  \]

Since the left-hand and right-hand limits are different, the limit does not exist.

---

### 13. \(\lim_{x \to 2} f(x)\), where \(f(x)\) is piecewise:

\[
f(x) = \begin{cases} 
x^2 - 2x, & x < 2 \\
1, & x = 2 \\
x^2 - 6x + 8, & x > 2 
\end{cases}
\]
- For \(x \to 2^-\) (from the left), use \(f(x) = x^2 - 2x\):
  \[
  \lim_{x \to 2^-} (x^2 - 2x) = 2^2 - 2(2) = 4 - 4 = 0
  \]

- For \(x \to 2^+\) (from the right), use \(f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 8\):
  \[
  \lim_{x \to 2^+} (x^2 - 6x + 8) = 2^2 - 6(2) + 8 = 4 - 12 + 8 = 0
  \]

Since both the left-hand and right-hand limits are equal to 0, the limit is:
\[
\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = 0
\]

Would you like detailed explanations on any of these steps or graphs for the functions? Let me know!

Here are some questions for further exploration:
1. How would you factor other rational functions when solving limits?
2. Can limits always be evaluated by direct substitution?
3. How can piecewise functions cause a limit to not exist?
4. What is the significance of left-hand and right-hand limits?
5. How can you verify limits graphically?

**Tip**: Always check both left and right limits when dealing with piecewise functions, as this helps identify if a limit exists at a point.
