As $x$ approaches 1 from the left (i.e., $x \to 1^-$), the graph of the function $g(x)$ tends towards a value. Observing the curve of $g(x)$, it appears that the function approaches the value 3 from the left side of $x = 1$.

Therefore, as $x$ gets closer and closer to 1 from the left (but remains less than 1), $g(x)$ gets as close as we want to 3.

Would you like any further clarification or details on this?

Here are 5 related questions you might want to explore:

1. What happens to $g(x)$ as $x$ approaches 1 from the right?
2. Is $g(x)$ continuous at $x = 1$?
3. How do you calculate one-sided limits from graphs?
4. What is the limit of $g(x)$ as $x$ approaches 3?
5. How can you describe the behavior of $g(x)$ for large negative values of $x$?

Tip: When analyzing limits graphically, always check for discontinuities and consider both the left-hand and right-hand
