Let's solve each limit problem provided in the image.

### Problem (a)
\[
\lim_{{x \to 4}} \frac{{2x - 8}}{{\sqrt{x} - 2}}
\]

#### Solution:
1. Substitute \( x = 4 \):
   \[
   \frac{{2(4) - 8}}{{\sqrt{4} - 2}} = \frac{{8 - 8}}{{2 - 2}} = \frac{0}{0}
   \]
   This is an indeterminate form, so we need to simplify further.

2. Rewrite \(2x - 8\) as \(2(x - 4)\):
   \[
   \lim_{{x \to 4}} \frac{{2(x - 4)}}{{\sqrt{x} - 2}}
   \]

3. Now, use the conjugate to simplify the denominator. Multiply the numerator and the denominator by \(\sqrt{x} + 2\):
   \[
   \lim_{{x \to 4}} \frac{{2(x - 4)(\sqrt{x} + 2)}}{{(\sqrt{x} - 2)(\sqrt{x} + 2)}}
   \]

4. The denominator becomes a difference of squares:
   \[
   \lim_{{x \to 4}} \frac{{2(x - 4)(\sqrt{x} + 2)}}{{x - 4}}
   \]

5. Now, cancel \(x - 4\) from the numerator and the denominator:
   \[
   \lim_{{x \to 4}} 2(\sqrt{x} + 2)
   \]

6. Substitute \(x = 4\):
   \[
   2(\sqrt{4} + 2) = 2(2 + 2) = 2 \times 4 = 8
   \]

So, the answer for part (a) is:
\[
\lim_{{x \to 4}} \frac{{2x - 8}}{{\sqrt{x} - 2}} = 8
\]

### Problem (b)
\[
\lim_{{x \to 2}} \frac{{x^2 + 2x - 8}}{{x - 2}}
\]

#### Solution:
1. Substitute \( x = 2 \):
   \[
   \frac{{2^2 + 2(2) - 8}}{{2 - 2}} = \frac{{4 + 4 - 8}}{{0}} = \frac{0}{0}
   \]
   This is an indeterminate form, so we need to simplify further.

2. Factor the numerator \(x^2 + 2x - 8\):
   \[
   x^2 + 2x - 8 = (x - 2)(x + 4)
   \]

3. Rewrite the limit:
   \[
   \lim_{{x \to 2}} \frac{{(x - 2)(x + 4)}}{{x - 2}}
   \]

4. Cancel \(x - 2\) from the numerator and the denominator:
   \[
   \lim_{{x \to 2}} (x + 4)
   \]

5. Substitute \(x = 2\):
   \[
   2 + 4 = 6
   \]

So, the answer for part (b) is:
\[
\lim_{{x \to 2}} \frac{{x^2 + 2x - 8}}{{x - 2}} = 6
\]

---

### Summary
- **(a)** \(\lim_{{x \to 4}} \frac{{2x - 8}}{{\sqrt{x} - 2}} = 8\)
- **(b)** \(\lim_{{x \to 2}} \frac{{x^2 + 2x - 8}}{{x - 2}} = 6\)
