Let $f(x) = -6 - x^2$. Find each of the following: a) \frac{f(-3) - f(-8)}{-3 - (-8)} = 11 b) \frac{f(-8 + h) - f(-8)}{h} = \boxed{} c) \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(-8 + h) - f(-8)}{h} = \boxed{}

Use the graph of $h$ in the figure to find the following values or state that they do not exist. $\begin{array}{lllll}\text { a. } h(2) & \text { b. } \lim _{x \rightarrow 2} h(x) & \text { c. } h(4) & \text { d. } \lim _{x \rightarrow 4} h(x) & \text { e. } \lim _{x \rightarrow 5} h(x)\end{array}$
