What????
Perhaps you mean:
given f(x) =
2 x^2 + 5 when x < or equal to 2
3 - x^2 when x > 2
if x is slightly bigger than 2
3 - 4 = -1
if x is slightly smaller than 2
OR
if x is 2
then
2(4) + 5 = 8+5 = 13
since the left limit does not equal the right limit, lim as x->2 does not exist.

And of course, f(2) is not even defined.
