  1. Determine piecewise function for xx approaching 44: We need to determine which piece of the piecewise function g(x)g(x) applies when xx is approaching 44. The function g(x)g(x) is defined as 2x12^{x}-1 for x8x \leq -8 and as x\sqrt{x} for x1x \geq 1. Since 44 is greater than 4411, we will use the x\sqrt{x} part of the function to find the limit as xx approaches 44.
  2. Calculate limit of x\sqrt{x} as xx approaches 44: Now we calculate the limit of x\sqrt{x} as xx approaches 44. The limit of a square root function is the square root of the limit point, provided the limit point is within the domain of the function. Since 44 is within the domain of x\sqrt{x}, we can directly substitute xx with 44.
  3. Substitute xx with 44 in x\sqrt{x} to find limit: Substituting xx with 44 in x\sqrt{x} gives us 4\sqrt{4}, which equals 22. Therefore, the limit of g(x)g(x) as xx approaches 44 is 22.
