Answer

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 0}f(x)$ does not exist.

Work Step by Step

Follow the steps in "Evaluating Limits Graphically" (step 5: determine whether a limit exists at x=a) In part (a) we found that one of the one-sided limits does not exist, therefore, $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 0}f(x)$ does not exist. (Step 7 also concludes this, as x=0 is an endpoint of the domain of f)
