Answer

Does not exist

Work Step by Step

By Theorem 1.2.2., $\lim_{x \to a} [f(x) + g(x)] = \lim_{x \to a} f(x) + \lim_{x \to a} g(x) = R + \lim_{x \to a} g(x) $ where $R$ is a real number. Therefore, for $\lim_{x \to a} [f(x) + g(x)]$ to not exist, $\lim_{x \to a} g(x) $ must not exist as we have already reached a real value from $\lim_{x \to a} f(x)$.
